the federal's are exactly that, cheap tyres, they wont last any where near as long or even grip as good as a good quality tyre such as these, you get what you pay for, and that's the truth when it comes to tyres. a $50 tyre is no where near as good as a $150 tyre thats why there is the price difference, any person with half a brain could figure that out.

^^ that mad no sense at all..

the federal 595SS are used by australias BEST drifters in Drift Australia.

They do countless laps of frying tires with 400+ hp applications with no dramas.

The also use other brand like toyo kumho ect but not one driver use the tires u are trying to sell.

Drift is only ONE example, the nexen n3000 is used on hand made MG cars, lots of mx5s owners use them on motokahana days ect.

The tyre your trying to flog off for top dollar is not worth anywhere near your asking price.

drifting is not gripping. these are not tyres to go frying around a race course side wards, these are tyres that grip to a surface. You know why F1 cars use bridgestones and not federals or nexens, because they dont grip. two different tyres for two different intended applications.

Now if you wanna be a smart ass, go piss off and be a smart ass elsewhere.

ahhahaha f1 cars use bridgestone because bridgestone has the market power to control whatever they like.

the bridgestones on the f1 cars are MUCH different then the pissy tyres ur trying 2 sell.

drifting as all about grip. the grippier tyres you have, you can go faster n have more control throughout the corner.

as i said, thats only one example.

plus who the hell would buy a tyre with 55 profile lol! the car will feel like its floating

Mastadd,

Dude I feel for you. The ER300's your trying to sell are a top shelf street tyre thats why they're expensive and with tyres you really do get what you pay for. The $135 price tag is cheap, almost as cheap as I get them at cost from the factory.

If you had 225's for sale rather than 205's they would have sold ages ago and your thread wouldn't have been hijacked.

I'm amazed that anyone compares Federal with Bridgestone as they are in general 2 completely different tyres. Federals are usually a hard compound tyre which last longer but with less grip + noisier. Bridgestone are generally softer, therefore grippier and quieter but don't last as long.

Good luck with the sale, some-one must need a set.

Obviously you have no idea about maintaining a relatively stock rolling diameter for certain vehicles...

Also I don't understand why you would compare these two tire manufactures? Who cares! Also price is irrelevant when comparing different types of tires and manufactures.

Bottom line, price he's asking for these BRIDGESTONE TURANZA ER300's (not your so called Federal 595SS used by australias BEST drifters in Drift Australia :( ) are cheap. Have you rang around to get quotes?

Anyway, back to the original post. I'm keen to grab a pair. Although they are cheap as, any further negotiation possible?

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks guys! Finally people who get it!!!

As for the sale price, i really really dont wanna drop them any more then what they are, but if you can help find me someone who wants the other pair then maybe we can work something out, ill pm you with an offer.

Cheers

keyboard warriors who think they know stuff but talk out of their arse amuse me. good luck with the sale, they sound like quality tyres and I'd be keen except I'm in Sydney and shipping is too much of a pain.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
