I don't know those tyres, but their FZ201 are good dry tyres at a comparably very good price. I've run both the softs and mediums and both were good, although the softs obviously are for short runs only. I found the mediums terrible in the wet though.

I did a search, found FZ201 are Federal. Found also that the FALKEN RT 615K are not strictly a semi slick but high performance buffed tyre suitable for the street and track.

Whilst UTQG isn't the be all/end all... They have a rating of 200.

So they are really just a high performance road tyre that let you run in the "street" classes for various events etc. Same as a AD08 / RS-3 (both of which are a better choice if going down that road).

It doesn't have a "K" on them anywhere, the Falkens have a 200 treadwear, the AD08s on my 32 have 180 treadwear and the difference between the RTs and AD08s is unbelievable, but what you pay for AD08s new you would be better off getting the Federals Duncan mentioned earlier

I looked at those Falkens when I bought my Federal RS-R's all the reviews pointed to the RS-R being a better tyre for the money, in my case with only 235 17s it was only $640 for a full set. The UTQG is 140 on them as opposed to 200 for the Falkens.

I can say of the RS-R's that new they are at least as quick as worn out RE55s on my car and they last longer than proper semis as they are a high performance road tyre rather than a genuine R comp. I've heard that they can struggle on heavier cars though and will over heat quickly, less of an issue for me.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
