Apparently the 285 18 Achilles 123s are better bang for buck and cheaper than 265/35/18 Federal RSR.... AND they're about the same width because RSR's are wider than 265's should be so will fit under by rear end without needing to roll any guards?

Thoughts? Comments? Which tyre should I go for now that I've decided to do Winton on the Friday before DECA in Nov?

Edit: Just need the 2 rears, 18x9.5 (can't remember the offset...) since I've still got enough RS-R on the front to last a few days.

I was speaking to Richo a few weeks ago about this

He is under the impression the compound has changed for the RS-R's now so they are now crap

Better go the Achilles 123s

I might have some new Hankook Rs3's you could use for cheap if you want lol

What size are the RS3's toby? PM me a price? Y U no use them and how are they on the street / track?

I'll PM yah

Rs-3's are a 265/40/18

Good enough tyre to win 1st, 2nd & 3rd at the 2012 WTAC clubsprint class

inb4 Richo takes a podium this year in his Advans :P

they matter more for cat in drift with her 700hp twin turbo V8 than they do for you in grip with your 6.3kw shopping trolley if that's what you are asking :P

Speaking of tyres, I need some before DECA.

How bad is it to have tyres laying outside for many months through winter and using them?

Just drop the front shaft and do skids.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
