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.

    • 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?
