Know quite a few of you are using them and rave about them.

Need two new rears and I'm thinking of giving them a try. However I'm not sure which type to get. The car is a daily driver so I'm not convinced I want the RS-R simply because I like having some grip in the wet and I tend to chew through soft compound tyres very very quickly (T1Rs in less than 5k km o.O). I've read mixed reports on the SS so was considering the EVO. Thoughts? Also where best to get them from in the ACT?

Ok, to recommend the best tyre for you I need to know:

1. What size?

2. Is your car a daily driver?

3. What is your car's approx power at the wheels?

4. How many track days, hillclimbs, motorkhanas do you compete it (or plan to)?

5. How many kms would you travel in a year?

If you can answer these questions I can help out with the tyres :thumbsup:

Either 595's or the 595EVO's (which are now available) in 235/45R17 would be perfect...

I would suggest going for the 595EVO if you want slightly better grip than the 595's (the EVO's will be more comparable in performance to the Toyo T1R's), however - if you dont want to spend the extra cash the 595's will be great for your use and you should expect around 30 - 35,000kms if you drive hard... Keep checking your rotations and pressures regularly for maximum tyre life :P

yeah but Michael with a car a gutless as yours, with someone as bad as you driving it, who needs good tyres? you go slow enough to drive soap on ice and stay in control!

    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
