Depends on what you want to spend really

Yokohama AVS V102

Goodyear Revspec

Dunlop FM901's (cheaper.)

Talk to Kosteras tyres in Kalamunda for advice.

They can supply tyres just this side of race rubber if you want to go down that path

Cheers

this is what i'm looking at getting.

712-11.jpg

Kumho "Ecsta Supra" 712: Racetrack inspired, race-winning technology all wrapped up into a high performance street tyre. Race proven technology inspired the development of the Kumho ECSTA supra712 V and Z speed rated directional tyre. Designed to deliver a higher level of high speed performance in hydroplaning resistance and wet handling, the tread’s large lateral and centre channels provide maximum water evacuation for superior wet traction while an advanced silica tread compounding ensures excellent wet/ dry traction and handling. To further meet the demands of those drivers who require the best in handling and traction, the ECSTA Supra 712’s wide tread contact area provides dry grip, stability at high speeds and handling. Its sophisticated, directional tread design offers superior acceleration, braking (especially when rabbits happen to be in your road) and exceptional cornering. Altogether with its European design and styling, the ECSTA Supra 712 delivers ultra high performance, featuring black letter styling and available in 55-,50-,45-,40-, 35-, and 30 series, in H-, V-, Z-, and W speed rated sizes for 14 inch to 20 inch wheel diameters. Now world class beating quality with best value pricing will make sure your customers will know.

hahahahahahahahha

sorry troy but dont get them

theyre pathetic

my mate has them in his 300zx, after 12,000ks of not very syko driving theyre incredibly bald, offer no grip and are weapons in the wet

bloody pathetic!

as an all round tyre the dunlop fm901s are very good, thats what im using at the moment. the sticker the tyre the quiker it will wear, like the SO3s... depends what youre after. an allround tyre or just one which will get you off the line. pirellis range are also good, but expensive. p-zeros have excellent grip!

Spoke to Ray @ Kostera's and will probably settle on a set of Dunlop SP9000's @ 225/55 on the rear. Only because I've got stock rims and havent got the dough to get a set of 18x9's yet and fit some nice 255/45 tyres :) Cluth and tyres should be done in time for drags on wednesday 13th of november. Whose coming along?

Guys, going to have to do a shameless plug for the boys at beaurepairs in Rocky - they gave me a great deal on the REVSPECs: 2 x 234/45/17 and 2x 255/40/17 fitted for 1k.  Saved several hundred on the list price.

Who did you sleep with to get that price?

Best price I could get was $1320 from Beaurepaires in Perth area.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • 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.
