Dang, I just sold a pair of 215 45 17 RE001 Adrenalins for $300

with only a trip to banella and phillip island on them, about 1000k's

Bit too skinny for my new front rim diameter, but a bit skinner than what your after, would fit perfect on an 8 inch tho.

Just gotta keep your eye out :D

for a decent tyre in that size for that money, your best bet will be Korean. Hankook or Kuhmo. You might be able to wrangle some Toyo or Falken but I doubt it. Oh also you will get into some Federals for that money but they will wear out FAST!!

From what i was told zeetex are also korean and are made from the same material as tyres like the hankooks, i know they work well for me.

heard people say cheap tyres in dandy but where is this place exactly - -"?

I know there is a second hand joint next to the car yard which is next to the tyre factory.

What were they, 195/60/15 or something?

235/45/17 RE001's are closer to $220-$250 fitted EACH.

They have never been sub $200 for 17's

Ring any Bridgestone dealer and they'll tell you the same :P

195/50/15. Not too sure what prices the 17s were, but comparing this place's prices to others, they were the cheapest. Pretty good service too. Instead of making me go to his Box Hill shop (because the 195/50s ran out at Preston store) he got a guy to drive them down.

Where is this place ?

Abbotts Rd, Dandenong South. Near England Street.

just picked up

2x bridgestone adrenalin re001 at $195 each

2x 2nd hand tires with 70% tread for $50 each

im wrapped.

im glad i spent the extra for these tires. cannot describe to you the difference in the car compared to the old worn tires.

how wide are the rims? if they are say 8" front and 9" rears you can put 235 45 17 front and rear or put 215 up front. did you want $1XX for all 4 tyres? or for a whole set?

these are $100 a tyre in brooklyn just near footscray and strip old tyre, fit and then balance for $10 a tyre. these tyres are chinese crap though but will do ya.

this guy on nissan silvia is selling nexens for your fronts if they are 8" wide for $60. still good tread could do ya for the time being.

then buy these for the rears

i know what its like man cause i'm a student too lolz. sometimes you get lucky through the forums with people selling tyres for cheap and thats when you should pounce. try and keep the tyres the same profile to keep the cops happy just in case.

    • The front prop shaft from my GTR had very notchy unis, which obviously needed replacement but unfortunately uses the (usually) non-replaceable (staked) type.     A new shaft is something like $2K plus shipping from Japan.   I wouldn't even bother asking the local Nissan spares dept.     Rang Hardy Spicer but no go, which surprised me a little.     There's a place over Dandenong way that would make me a 'performance' shaft but un-necessary in my situation.   They claimed to be getting the equipment in to replace staked unis but couldn't give me a timeframe.   Anyway, long story short, found a place to do the work just 5 mins from me: https://knoxdriveshafts.com.au $420 (cash) and about a week later I have my driveshaft back.   Price includes balancing. Owner is a one man band working out of a shed in his backyard but from what I could see he's very well setup with some expensive equipment.  
    • Thanks. That's what I was after. One of the kits, the o-ring side is too big diameter. The other kit is a plate with a o-ring to seal and the hose connection offset.
    • oops that seems much easier lol. 
    • Are you using the factory rail?  Is there any reason you don't want to use one of the two you already have, they don't have to attach to the fuel rail directly.  If you 100% must have a FPR that directly bolts to the fuel rail, you could get a Radium setup. I use a radium fuel rail and the direct mount regulator, it is quite a sexy setup.
