Digging up an old thread, I'm about to get these fitted to all 4 corners tomorrow, they do have a wider tyre range now, momo and St George tyres have come together as partners in making this tyre, I guess I'll see how they go tomorrow, this thread just confirmed me in getting them haha lol.

Mine fronts are still going strong.

Even wear. Not worn all that much. Look like they will last a good while.

Still grip extremely well, wet and dry.

Very pleased with these.

Oh a side note, I got the M2 for my Pulsar today. Car came with shitty Chinese tyres (Rotella and some other brand), the change to the new tyres totally transformed the car (including bad vibration above 90 km/h).

The only thing I can compare it against is the Dunlop SP Sport on my mum's Corolla, but even then they are different sizes (205/55/16 vs. 185/64/15 on the Pulsar). I'd say the MOMOs are on par in terms of dry grip. Very happy with them, and at $80 each, no complaints.

Awesome grip wet and dry, really outperform my last set of continentals in that category, extremely quiet aswell... just wondering are you guys feeling some sidewall flex whilst cornering a little harder? My tyre size is 255/35 18 at the rear and 225 40 18 at the front.

i'm not feeling any sidewall flex. i have the same size as you up front.

check your pressures? my fronts are around 38 - 39 psi.

they were around 34psi when installed. too soft for me.

Cool story bro (no sarcasm intended). Always like to hear first hand opinions. Now I just wonder how these compared to the Achilles ATR sport? I had these fitted to my R33 for $120 a tire (fitted) at Big O tyres in Hurstville, 19inch 255s. I was not expecting much from this cheap brand, but I was pleasantly surprised and have absolutely loved them (a year into it). They are super silky, absorb bumps great that you feel like you are gliding over the ground with magnets, zero sidewall flex, but the best part is the grip is amazing. Wet or dry they just hold.

Now my second R33 is coming up to a new tyre set change and don't know whether to go with the Achilles which I know are great, but are these Momos better is the question?....:S

When I had my previous car (Ford Fiesta) although front wheel drive so I don't know how you can compare it I hated the set of achillies atr sport I had on it, car handled like a go kart although with the atr it just had so much understeer due to the fronts just sliding out, from memory the size was 215 35 18, I personally prefer the momos.

Id probably guess that too. Though its worth mentioning they would handle differently on a skyline, especially due to the high neg camber on most skylines.

I also keep my psi lower than most people, wheel shop had it set to 42 psi which I did notice the ATRs gave me some understeer. I set it to about 34psi which is what I prefer and they were good after that.

My bro-in-law (who runs a performance workshop and drives everything and anything on just about every tyre) has had ATR Sports on his BMW and Supra. Loved them. They are related to the Federals, so you'd expect them to be OK, but they seem to be at least as good as the Feds, if not a chunk better.

Even with that glowing recommendation, I'm not eager to try them. I see the compound on them being a whole grade less sticky than the various UHP tyres I've been using. When I've gone back to more conventional tyres from the (sticker than 200 UTQG) stuff I normally use, I have always been disappointed with the sheer (lack of) grip that you get. I destroy less sticky tyres as fast as I destroy sticky tyres because the back end is always hanging out in the breeze. KU36s and better keep the rear end stuck down better and I get the drive I want without the drift, if you know what I mean.

They have better grip than the compound would indicate. When the tyre shop pulled them out and I stick my finger on it I was a little "uhh" as well, but I they are grippier than I expected, and certainly the grippiest tyre you can get for $120 by a long shot.

I dont think you would be unhappy for the price if you did try them.

i have the atr sports on the rear 265/18. they are not too bad but the momo are much better. I would not trust the atr up front to keep me pointed in the right direction. wet grip is pretty average with atr.

on the upside, they look like theyre going to last for 30 years!!! lol.

Any update on the momo tyres?

How many k's you've done on them?

Has the rubber changed? Hardened?

Glad you found this; I was going to link it in the Stagea Discussion. :thumbsup:

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
