Hey all

Im buying a set of XD9s.

I cant decide between gunmetal grey and black...

Ive never seen the gunmetal in person which makes it hard. Does anybody have any pics of them on car? and there coming from interstate...

the gray does look dark but its hard to see whithout really seeing them in the light etc

There going on a white 33 GTR.

Yeah the gunmetal is nowhere near as dark as the picture you put up the top.. Got mine from JDM concept too. There are pics of them on my white R33 too and off in the sun here if this link works : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389915-work-xd9-gunmetal-mgm/

Yeah they're really not.. I liked them on the white car.. Though I wanted black in the first place and if I still had the car I'd have gotten them powdercoated black by now.

Only reason i got the gunmetal was due to the 3 months or so wait for the black ones at the time - with plans to make them black eventually.

Black with the dish on all 4 wheels on the GTR would look nice I reckon.

Actually I'll have a look tonight - someone on here has/had the black XD9's on a white 33 GTR, think I have the pic saved somewhere.

      I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.

      These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.

      You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.

      Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
