OK friends, to prove how much these guys want these tyres gone, for every person that buys 2 or more tyres, your name will be entered into a raffle between all the other purchases from this GB ONLY, so VERY good chances of winning!

The prizes are as follows:

A Federal Motorsports Jacket worth $80!

And a Federal Motorsports Cap worth another $20!

Raffle will be drawn at the end of June.

And to those people that have already purchased tyres don't worry, your names are already in the raffle ;)

Remember, you WILL NOT find BRAND NEW, UN-USED SEMI SLICKS straight from the supplier to your door for this price for a VERY long time to come, if ever!

Anyone know what these are like as a daily driver on the road and also if they are suitable for the drags?

I drive my Skyline every day and at the moment I am running Federal 595RS-Rs (the successor of the 595RS semi) on the street. With the recent rain here I can honestly say that they are much the same as a street tyre when it comes to the wet, if not slightly better. :ninja:

dooooof. 265/35/18's

caarn man, you can do it

You're right, I can... FOR CLUB MEMBERS ONLY TONY! :rofl2:

when I've joined your club lol you got these in stock... 255/35/R18?? want 4 <<<do i get 2 raffle tickets :D

Yeah they will be in stock, but they won't be this price, and no, no raffle tickets... well, I might be able to squeeze you in :sick:

i gotta say this is damn cheap for a damn good tyre! Ive had these on my car for 6months now and they are among some of the best tyres ive driven on wet and dry!

Ive never had this much confidence in any car in the wet before

What would be the best for 17x8 for front and 17X9, not looking for super low profile.

Ideal fitment would be 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear if you are after maximum traction, but you can vary anywhere between 215 - 235 on the front and 225 - 255 on the rear safely (depending on the tyre)...

It depends on what type of driving you are planning on doing.

i put the 235/45's on my 17x8's. whats the ideal hot temp for these? i was trying to keep em around 40psi on the track as i wasnt sure how

hard the sidewall on these are?

what would it be for 2 255/40R17 and 2 235/40R17 posted to QLD sunshine coast

It would be $420 as we are not offering 255s, only the 235s are available.

:sick:

hard the sidewall on these are?

Ideal track pressures would be about 34 - 36psi cold as they will pick up around 6 - 8 psi when hot... I have found that ideal temp for track use is between 60 - 80 degrees on the tread face.

The sidewalls in the 595RS are fairly strong but when used on the track they can fold under a bit, keep checking the sidewalls for signs of wear and adjust your pressures to suit. :sick:

OK fellas, as was promised, the prize draw for the jacket and hat has been done, and the winner is...

*DRUM ROLL*

ssxRicho!

A PM has been sent for an address and what size jacket you want :sick: Congrats!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
