Not so far but to be fair i havent really played with it to check.... They were brand spanking and still had writing on them so let me bed them in and ill check back in!

Actually on that note, i will know by the end of Sunday as its doing the Nulon Nats event :woot:

I'm sure it's the same for most tyres as the ad08r requires about 100km of driving to wear off the top shiny coating before the grippy part comes into play

Oh FFS then i better do some K's before it goes on the trailer this weekend then!

They look pretty bulgey compared to the old 275's i ran... You can see the difference between a 255RSR and a 275 RS3

If anyone wants the other pair of the 275/35/18 let me know... Will sell for what they cost me but i had to buy 4 to get the deal...

Brand new with stickers $512.50 for the pair :laugh:

Freight additional!

There was no magical grip that i was hoping for... 2nd gear is still skidsville BUT it was a road surface so it is not the best indication at this stage!

What tyre pressure and camber? They can affect the grip level as well

Yep, i was running 0 camber but it is now up to around -1.4 or something like that for circuit use.... In saying that i went from a 265 to a 275 in the hope the straight line contact patch would remain similar, but probably not lol

Pressure was about 30 hot so a bit low from a standing start.... But i did warm them up prior -

That's a damn good price for 275 35 18!

I'd only put KU36s back on if Maria and I are having a domestic ;)

Lololol so you cant hear? Brilliant!

Oh and i changed my opinion on the RS3 too once i had them hot on the track, great tyre!

Told ya so Matty! :D

The rears had heaps of corner grip... Straight line had issues but i had it turned down to gate pressure for the run anyway...

After a few hard laps of South circuit the fronts (Federal RSR) would start to understeer yet i still had heaps of rear grip and no signs of it fading!

Its impressed me enough to step up to the next level of Hankook ;)

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
