Hi,

I bought these brand new Federal semi slicks last week and my intentions for the car have changed, so theyre up for sale. They are awesome tyres; they stick like sh1t to a blanket. My car is very powerful, and they handled it with ease. Very comfortable on the road with little road noise and no extra harshness.

The sizes are 235x45x17 and 255x40x17. The 235's are 595RS's with a UTQG of 180 and the 255's are 595RSR's with a UTQG of 140. The Federal rep said that this combination was perfect for street, track or motorkahna duties. For comparison, drag slicks usually have a tread wear rating of 60 to 80, and normal road tyres usually have a rating of around 240 to 300. I did a lot of research for these tyres, and for the price and all round performance (including wear resistance for street duties) these came up trumps compared to Toyo and Falken.

The fronts retail for $280 and the rears retail for $315, thats $1190 all up. Im asking $1000 for good as new tyres. They still have the little wobbly rubber things on them!

Contact me on 0414972596 for any queries.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Drag slicks don't usually have a treadwear rating on them at all.

OK, Thanks for that. I read it somewhere in the tyre section. I did, however, mean DOT approved drag tyres like the Micky Thompsons etc, but im no expert on those.

Its safe to say that these Federals are quite a bit more wear resistant than the DOT approved drag slicks. Thats the point i was trying to make.

They certainly are! These are bloody good tyres too.

FWIW, the DOT treadwear rating on Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials is...ready for this?

0

Zero

Nuthin'.

What size rims are these on? Are you selling the rims as well?

Theyre on 17 inch rims, and no, theyre not for sale. Just the tyres.

Thanks Dave, ive still got your offer in mind. Ill give it a bit more time yet, as im in no massive hurry. If you met me half way, however, they could be yours today! :)

Shaun.

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
