I'm in the market for some new rears *heaven knows why?*

Just like some feedback on what tyres you all have on and are you happy with their grippiness (if there is such a word)?

Been quoted ~$420ea for Dunlop Direzza's DZ101's which i'm told is the "best money can buy" and ~$340ea for Toyo TPG Trampio's in 255/40/17 size. Obviously a bit of range there so want to see what every one else is using.

Cheers!

Dave

potenza DAGG.... Yummmmmmm 255/40/17

have no idea how much they would cost plus they came from Japan, no Oz companies made by the looks of things..... but yeah a lot happy than my g-grid i used to have plus the old potenzas....

if ya see any floating around try and grab em.... well i like em anyway:-)

I got a set of Toyo Trampios for $1100 from tyrepower in port kennedy

2x 245x40x18

2x 265x35x18

Tyres are pretty good and service there from the boys are great. Im guessing something in 17inch would be a bit cheaper than that. My personal experience is that tyre places rip people off whereever they can. You get a quote for the exact same tyre down the road for $80 more.

Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 235/45R17's on the front

Kuhmo Ecsta 711 255/40R17's on the rear...

the Supra's are nice, lasted a fair while and grip nicely...

the 711's.... well.. they suck.

i washed my rims perfectly spotless last night, drove around a little bit last night (absolutely no wheel spin or anything) and you can see powdered rubber sitting in the spokes of my rim(rear rims only), they wear that quick its not funny...

going to try Nankang NS2's next i think, mate has them on his wrx and they handle nice

I used to run Maxis 265/35R18's on the rear

and Maxis 235/40R18's on the front. For a pretty unknown(?) and cheapish tyre they had wicked grip on both wet and dry road. Cost about $430ish for the 265's not sure on the 235's maybe $380ish. But with me only running about 250rwhp and you running what now 350rwhp might make a difference.

Z rated means they are high speed rated, over 160km/h so thats what you need on a tyre.

don't get GT Radial Champiro's hard as rocks and shit in th wet, but hey if you want burnout material they will go on for a while but i wish i never got them.

Falkens are always mentioned as a great all round tyre.

Sherriff,

I just put a pair of the Ventus 104's on the 32 a month ago.. pretty DAMN GOOD tyre for the price.

They are up there with S03's in the dry and are about 150$ cheaper per tyre so you can't go wrong.

I havent tried the 104's in the wet yet. S03's have been the best tyre ive used in both the wet and dry.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
