I have a pair of Bridgestone Potenza Re-01R 255/40/17 94W Semi slick Track/ road tyres.

These suit Track and legal to drive on the streets,

They are best street legal tyres you can get.

Plans have changed with my car which is why i dont need these anymore.

they are both as new, %98 tread.

Some info about the tyres from the net.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires have been designed for street use with similar characteristics as motor sport semi slick tires, providing the ultimate street/circuit balance available.

* High Grip and Sidewall Stiffness

* Semi Slick like shoulder block

* Heat resistant polymer with cooling slit

* Wide Center rib for increased lateral stiffness

* Silica for improved wet weather performance

* Faster than Bridgestone RE-01 by 2 seconds at Tsukuba

The Potenza RE-01R is Bridgestone's tyre for drifters. It is used by top drifters in Japan and also the Autosalon Drift Racing team in Australia.

There can be few tougher ways for a tyre to earn its street cred then in drift racing - but that's exactly where the Bridgestone Potenza RE01R is right at home.

It incorporates Bridgestone's semi-slick shoulder block, wide straight.

Local Pick up from Western suburbs (Melbourne)

Or i can send around aus with a cheap courier company at buyers expense.

these tyres were close to $500 each tyre

Im asking $600 for the pair..

No tyre kickers....

are they semi slicks, i thought they were just normal road tyres..

Hey mate,

Yes they are semi slicks,

but you can use these tyres both on track and are street legal.

These tyres are ment to be one of the best tyres for Track work & for Drifting as recommended by top Japanese Drifters.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
