Hey guys,

I've got a friend who needs new tyres for her Falcon. Its just a daily driver, never raced, etc. She is a student so something cheap is preferable. However, she's not the best driver so its probably best that she doesn't get anything terrible.

Just wondering what you guys recommend, and the cheapest place to get said tyres in Melbourne.

Thanks.

Yeah I know what you mean. I was kind of hoping for a bang for your buck tyre like the KU36 is for performance, but in this case just daily driving.

I'll give Wheeltec a call and see what they recommend, cheers.

yeah ku31a on the honda they're real nice, comfy and grippy..whole set just over 500$..

Though mileage is a bit ordinary have only done 35000kms and there almost dead..

.should get at least 60 for daily strret usage

but i will give you all the value for money hot tip here..Brdgestone Duravis..i got a full set of 215/65/15 for about 800$ and they did over 160,000kms of abuse on my ute, no tyre rotating or anything..2 still had life in them when i bought new ones....pretty sure the police use them on their cars as well..they used to anyway..

Bridgestone Turanza, paid 600 for all 4 on my parents Corolla, good in wet and dry, 160,000km (need to check the odometer) on these but they're due for replacement.

Paid 600 from Bridgestone store fitted and balanced.

Yokohama C-drive2!

Traction Tyres recommend the C or A drives when i send non performance cars down there (mum's car with 17's, gf's car with 15's)

one was slightly more performance orientated than the other, can't remember which way around.

I'd just take it to TT and ask them what they think, you'll get straight up advice, won't bullshit ya and won't offer you more than what you want (ie, push you to get a set of AD08's)

KU31? Awesome value, bit of a dry tyre though...

As Alex said, I'm sure in high profile small wheel spec you could a better dry and wet tyre for the same cost.

All rounder - Kuhmo KU31. Checked prices - quite cheap actually

True.

I am running KU31's all round at the moment.

KU21's are what I'm running at the moment, slightly longer life than 31's and slightly less performance in the dry but a bit better in the wet. A bit cheaper too I believe.

Yep.

I have used them on the fronts before switching to KU31's all round.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
