Dry is best obviously. But in the wet they're not the worst tyres, the cheaper falken ZE326 is by far the worst in the wet.

Launch is pretty good..... drift is for fags, so I wouldn't know :D

Oh, and I get them from a RICE Supporting tyre shop in mandurah so those prices might slightly lower than normal prices. Either way, good value for money :)

I got sumitomo HTRZ on the back of mine and have found them to be great

I paid 250buck each for 255/40/17

even when they do let go, they still keep bitting for traction

Or Toyo Proxy are apparently quiet sticky, but the softer they are they quicker they wear down, and at $470 each go, I'll stick with the sumitomo's

i chew thru any tyres i have :)

On my zed i had the potenzas .... nice tyres .... but due to unfortunate circumstances .... such as swerving to miss dogs ..... nails and other gizmos getting stuck in them ..... i went thru them pretty quickly.

On my skyline i have Kumho Supras .... which were nice while they lasted ..... 8 months on and i chewed thru the rubber, the canvas, the belts and another set of canvas ..... yup definately got my wear outta those.

Now i have paulies tyres :D tyres are like kids ..... so much nicer when they are someone elses :)

can get them from tempetyres over east.. dunno what they charge for the rears, but i know the fronts you get for $140, you can get for $125 + $10 postage per tyre from over there.. so id say ~$200 for the rears too

Nizmo - yeah the kuhmo supra's are nice.. but the 711's are shite.. pity ive got supra's on the front and 711's on the rear :)

Cool guys thanks.

I was gonna go for the TOYO's as i got an awesome price $800 for all 4 235/45/R17

Anyonw in mel let me know if you need a set. And before you ask NO they haven't fallen off a truck :rofl:

I paid $700 for Firestone Firehawks that size they have been pretty good so far had them on for about 7k kilometers better than the Kuhmos i had on b4

Cheers for all you replies! Keep them coming. I can't believe some of you like the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra's. I have them on now and I hate them! Each to their own.

same, they have probably been the crappest tyres I have had on the 32.

Digging up a bit of an old thread but i've decided on going with the Toyo's. Seem to be the best mix of good reputation from other users and price. The price difference between TPG's and the new T1-R's was negligible so i'm going for the T1-Rs in 255/40/17's for $340 each from Booragoon Tyre Service in Myaree. When I go down there to get them fitted, i'll try and sound him out if he's interested at all in becoming a club sponsor for all the SAUWA members. He's only a small outfit but it would benefit him no end, particularly given the number of you out there using Toyo's.

Await a full review of the tyres once fitted :cheers:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
