That was from the local Jax Tyres. It was weird cause at the time they didn't have any in stock, so I rang the other two Jax's in Canberra and they were $15-20 more per tyre !

So I got the local Jax to order them in. Waited 2 days and saved $80 :)

I just got four 104's today (235/45/17), still scrubbing them in, but I'll let you know how they are in a few weeks.

For the 4 fitted and balanced they cost me $700 ($175 a piece).

DOH! Got same size tyres in ACT for $200 more - RIPPED!

Sorry to drag out an old thread but...

Any update on how your tyres performed J?

I am looking at buying 235/45/17 for the front and 255/40/17 for the rear, my total quote including fitting balancing AND a 4 Wheel Alignment is $850. I don't think its possible to get any cheaper :)

Thanks.

I've done nearly 15,000ks on mine and 3 track days, and they are still going :) Should get another 10,000ks out of them i recon, we'll see.

still happy with them and for the price you can't go wrong.

Cool, getting a set of 225, 235/17s in a few weeks after reading the praise in this thread for them. Would get 235 on the front and 245 at the back (as i have 8" and 9" rims front and back) but i think they might rub on the guards.

I have 235/40/17's on the front on 17 X 8's with no clearance problems.:)

I just had my tyres swapped L <-> R since the camber i run kills the inside of my tyres, insides were starting to show signs of wear, so swapped them over, hopefully give me a few more kms out of them

Damn, I’ve forgotten how expensive tyres can be. Searching all morning the cheapest I could find was $375 per tyre for 255X40X17. Thank god I found the Hankook's !!!! Just ordered the K104's and should be arriving in a few hours. I managed to find them for $255 each :wassup:

I just ordered a set of K104s today, getting them fitted on friday.

225/45/17s for the front at $185 ea

235/45/17s for the rear at $175 each

Thats including gst, fitting and balancing.

Just got a set of K104's put on today

235/45 $175 each

Hope they go better than the Sava 's I had. they were crap.

Hmmm @ these prices I hope somebody stocks the 275/40/17 's around here. Provided I can safely strectch them over 9.5" rims that'd be sweet. :rofl:

Phhffff... Thats not stretching, my 235/45/17 are on 9" wide wheels, theyre fine.

Had mine fitted today, feel heaps better than my old tyres (silverstone sport crap).

The guy at the shop said prices were going up by 5% today (1st of april). Not sure if he was just saying that to get me to order them quickly or if he was telling the truth.

Maybe stretching wasn't the right word, i meant if 275's aren't too wide for 9.5" rims, but think the only limitation is going to have them fit under the guards with the offset these wheels run.

But it's a moot point now, since the guy was sposed to bring them over to a mates on the weekend but never did, gotta chase him up now.

    • 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?

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
