i'm pricing some yoko c/drive's and the avs sport v102s. apparently the v102s are just incredible in wet or dry and hugely responsive. i'm considering doing all 4 in the avs cos i'm due for tyres and the dicks over at my local rta reckon my current ones are unroadworthy... wankers. they've got a shiteload of meat on them!

i'll post my thoughts if/when i get them, but damn $400 a corner at mates rates! ouch!

Pair of random second handies (235/45/17) from Tempe Tyres, $70 a pair (fitted) with lots of meat.

Went back a few weeks later looking for more but talked to someone different and they said it was against their policy to sell seconds. Go Figure :roll:

I'm after some seconds in 235/40/17 if anyone has a set in their garage, my bro's BMW replaced his worn P Zeroes 40-series with 45-series and now it scrubs and chops up the tyres like crazy now. I'm in sydney(ish) :)

I would have to agree with 4door_Sleeper, I recently got some SO3's & they are the best tyres I've used in 12 years of driving - especially in the wet. I used to have Falken Azenis Pure Sport, but the SO3's seem to wear and grip alot better - but cost more. I would also like to hear a comparison between Michelin Pilot and the Bridgestone Potenza SO3's, including price.

265/40/18 Rear

235/45/18 Front -- I paid $2020 for these 4.

hey just doing a bit of reading on previous threads and spoke to a few people and wondering wat your thoughts on Nankang NS2's?

Rear $200 255/40/17

Front $140 235/45/17

Total of $680 for 4 tyres, do you think this would be the best tyre's for that amount of money? best 'bang for your buck' sort of thing? or are there other tyres of similar price that are superior?

Thanks,

5{ton]i ended up getting bfgoodrich (made by michellin) profiler g's in 255/40/17 on all 4 corners on my beast and thus far, i'm very happy with them. nice tyre in all conditions. and they cost me $309 a corner fitted and balanced.

has anyone else had these tyres? or heard much about them,

Sorry to dig up an oldish thread...but has anyone had any experience with Dunlop Direzza DZ101's?

I'm pretty much sick to death of the rubbish handling on my current Falken Z386's (they came with the car), so I've decided to put something decent on this time around.

They're fairly expensive unfortunately - I got quoted the following prices (which is the limit of my tyre budget!):

Front (255/45/17) - $314/tyre

Rear (255/40/17) - $400/tyre

They seem to have received good reviews, but I'm interested if anyone else has actually had any experience with them?

I considered Bridgestone S03's but they're more expensive then the DZ101's so i've ruled them out.

I've also got prices for Falken Azenis ST115's which are a lot cheaper than the DZ101's, but are they a comparable tyre? If so, then these may also be a possible (considerably cheaper) alternative. Does anyone have any experience with these tyres?

Finally, is there anything else I should also be considering in my price range?

Thanks for the help :)

Yeah I read the review on the Hankook's but i'm not overly convinced that I'll be happy with them. I think they seem very good for the price, although i'm guessing that they're still probably at the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to performance tyres.

Anyone had any experience with the DZ101's or ST115's? Any help on this would be great.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
