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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
