this is a topic im quite interested in, the tires i got on my rear are quite different from normal tyres sold here ... i've been told by my mate that the tread on the tyres are usually for rally on gravel roads ... and so they are not so good in the wet ... most probably the reason why i get very very bad traction in the wet ... i've already had an accident ... how much should i be paying for above average tyres that work well in all conditions?? i have stock 16" rims ...

thanks

well i've just looked my tyre on the web and it seems to be a winter tyre, ie good for snow ... so perfermance in normal aussie conditions wouldn't very good at all is what i'm assuming... it can be found here:

i think i really need new tyres, does anyone know how much i should be lookin for, for 16's??

i paid $11xx for a set of 235/40s

i cant remember exactly how much, they were the tyres i put on when i needed new ones (compliance) 8,000ks later they look brand new. unless someone can tell me a better tyre for the money im gunah get another set once these wear out. excellent tyres!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
