Taleb tyres. Sau for sale section in business section.

Got quoted 280 a tyres for 265*35*18's delivered

But for what sort of tyre?

If I had an R33 GT-R I would only be putting good tyres on there. Toyos, Yokohamas, Pirelli, Continental, Dunlup etc.

Shipping has never cost me more than $350 to Sydney.

Takes about 1 week to get to your door.

So far I've had Dunlop Direzzas Z1 Star spec and Hankook Venus R-S3 from here, excellent service and it worked out half the price for the Dunlops and $400 cheaper than anywhere in Australia for the Hankooks.

The savings are only worth it if you buy high quality tyres though, but then you are getting top quality tyres for the price of average ones anyway.

Yes I am a tirerack fanboy.

Shop smart, Shop S mart.

Get on there and send him a pm, has everything for a great price, will have a look and let u know what tyre they were

Oh I have, costed me up on a set of Toyo R888s, very reasonably price.

Still nowhere near $280 per tyre delivered for something like a big 265/35R18 :blink:

Tirerack for quality tyres at the price of average tyres locallly, but only worth it if your getting top end stuff, very happy with my tirerack purchase, of Michelin Pilot Sport, excellent grip and wear, $650 each locally or $1400 for a full set delivered thumbsup.gif

I'll be trying Pirelli P-zero next time..

How much was delivery, if you don't mind me asking?

Ive tried KU31's and i had problems with them at high speed and shit wearing characteristics.

+1

I would never put 595's on my car

Have you ever driven on 595s? Considering they are a relatively hard compound they still grip VERY well in the wet compared to other tyres that suit daily driving and supposedly last long also.

If i was to buy tyres for my gtr again i would buy federals again no doubt about it, im pretty fussy about daily tyres and im happy with them in every aspect! As for a track tyre i would definitely buy a softer tyre, possibly toyo t1rs but why drive on a soft high performance tyre on public roads if ur not going to use them to their full potential?

I dont get why people knock a tyre if they havent tried it.

From memory about 300. that was a while ago.

Just ordering some 255/50/19. For wife's kluger and the freight is $335 So basically getting continentals for the price of a much cheaper brand locally. Only time will tell if they are better than the bridgestones that are coming off. Having only done 30k with obviously no track work ?

I've driven on them on my old housemates car.

So I am speaking from first hand experience.whistling.gif

When RE001's are a mid priced tyre, last 30-40k km, and grip fantastically wet and dry, I don't know why you would put shitty 595's on it when tyre's are the only thing keeping your car to the road, irrelevant as to whether you use them to their potential- emergency braking is never planned! You would think someone who owns a GTR wouldn't be scared to spend an extra couple of hundred for better rubber.

road car BUDGET- Federal 595SS

street car - Pirelli PZero,Bridgestone RE001aggressive street, weekend track: RE11's, KU36's, 595RSR's (all 180ish tread wear, 'semi style' tyres)

track car - Bridgestone RE001 RE55 or similar R comp.

That statement isn't accurate. You have listed all 'street' tyres above 200 tread wear... Fixed it for you cheers.gif

Tyres are the best performance upgrade for your car, people go on about eBay shit being bad then skimp on tyres.

The only thing stopping you from putting your power down or crashing is the tyres.

Hard cheap tyres are for taxis.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
