I talked to Falken a while back looking for the same tyres and was told they just stopped production of them in 17 size for no reason what so ever. Apparantly they have a tendancy to do that.

Talk to Tempe Tyres, they have (or had) Falken RS-V04 semi slicks for $250 a tyre in 245/45/17 and you can get them freighted to Canberra overnight for around $60. These are a proper semi slick tyre, the RT215's are not an R compound tyre. I dont know if it matters, Im guessing you just want them to show off at autosalon ;)

I was advised recently that Falken has stopped production of all motorsport tyres (including slicks) and have no plans to recommence. Apparently they are withdrawing from motorsport completely.

So if you are after Azenis, you will only find existing stock.

Funny,that.Hence the reason I'm chasing some from fellow SAU'er and their contacts...because it seems no shop has "existing stock".Falken Aus. told me they've got none as the current "molds" were finished,and they're just tooling up to produce more.That'd be the wait 'till mid next year,then!I don't know who's been told pork pies,maccattack-either or both of us-but I still need some pronto!

      Just yesterday the car started to shake a bit when idle. So tomorrow ima test the some wires and packs with the multimeter and see what it is. Hopefully is a pack because thats the easiest thing to buy same day here where I live in the USA.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested.
