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 ;)

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
