Tyres do harden in the weather and tyres on cars are through heat cycles that help to keep them from hardening. The latter part may be total shit, but it made sense when I made it up.

Regardless, distributors note year of manufacture and sell older stock for cheap for a reason.

Yeah was thinking that too but got to consider tyres aren't made yesterday. Would be coming via boat from china which is months and by the time you buy them, they have been sitting for ages anyways.

Could argue a tyre going through heat cycles would cause more wear as it's expanding and contracting.

hmmm.... it's just that I've got an old set of tyres in the backyard out in the open, used to be in the shed but needed that space.

So two sets of wheels with tyres on both sets, and I want to swap them around.

Would they charge the usual or double because they're taking off and putting on twice?

I've got a pair of jack stands if you want to borrow.

Haha saw that today. Classic

Slow and annoying.

Bought a 34 GTT, saving up for another gtr or o/s trip.

You really need to just buy a car and stick to it

Hmmmm, what are AD08's worth in 265/35/18? Any good place to get them from, fitted, in South East or Bayside or even Dandenongish area?

Cheapest AD08's would be about 380-400 fitted

The newer AD08R's are $450-$500 fitted

O/S

play with cars later

I've done both before, think I might do both, can always sell the 34.

The o/s will be short burst not 3+ months like last time.

It's wishful thinking really, blame it on my attention span and genes (father switched cars a lot, grandfather does every year before retiring).

I mean to actually swap the tyres from set 1, put them on set 2, and the tyres on set 2 to put on set 1.

Just jack up the car at each corner and swap each wheel one at a time. Will take 10 minutes tops...better than a car place doing it. Have a wheel brace if you need it.

[Miguelone]

Costs me $5 a corner to have tyres swapped, $10 if I want them to get rid of the old tyres, seeing as you're keeping both sets though that's not gonna matter.

I think young Jonoe meant taking tyres out from wheels set 1 to wheels set 2 and vice versa.

The benefits of living out in sticks, low overheads.

I think you passed up opportunity for a running joke

[r34abz]

been sick with the flu since sunday arvo, hasn't gotten better. temperature was briefly 37.5^o but shot up back to 40^o

[Down_Shift]

Jonoe, It costs on average $15 a corner the last time I got priced.

[Down_Shift]

Abz where are you?

11degrees in melb ATM but being in the office and judging by the current status of my nipples, it's roughly 23.5 degrees.

[Leroy Peterson]

keep putting off doing research/pricing into semi's.... will wait for my RSRs to disintegrate. Probably wont go RE002s again either cause they pricey for what you get, but then again I dont really do enough kms for wear and tear to be a problem (other than -3.5 camber wear)

cool 7 degrees and wet on Mt Dandenong. yay

this dude snuck up on me earlier. abdomen was bigger than my thumb
