Yeah dave, they are directional... but I swap the backs around (actually get them taken off the rims) and then swap the fronts around (taken off the rims again).

can u do that with different sized fronts and backs?

can u do that with different sized fronts and backs?

Dude, look at it this way... Outside number being the tyre, inside being the rim...

11 22

33 44

then when you get the tyres rotated, imagion the tyre COMES OFF THE RIM and on to the other sides rim. So you get your semi rotation done, it will then look like this...

21 21

43 43

Get it? Personally you shouldnt have to do this as your tyres should wear even, even with a full on set up, as it should be set up to your driving style so the tyres have even wear, as if they have even wear they are gripping the most they can most of the time...

shit ay?

never even though about it

wish i had, as my suspension is completely had it, and ive just scrubbed off the inside of my 300 buck tyres in less than 20k

the outside of my fronts look brand new, hardly worn at all

oh well

ill remmeber it for next time

Isn't that camber too though? mine are bald inside which is why I'm replacing them but it's because of the camber setup...they've been rotated already so the "outside" is pretty bald too.

Anyway I've got the day off today so I'm going to ring every tyre place in the phone book and get prices on yokos and anything else in my price range. When I'm done I'll post the best quote I got on here...it really makes a difference when the $$ are spread over 4 tyres - in the four or so phone calls I made so far the price difference in the yokos adds up to $140.

After I rang about 10 places the places I was ringing knew I was ringing around cos they were all asking the same supplier for prices on 225/45r17s hahah...I felt like the scummiest guy on earth arguing the price down an extra $5 per tyre but I'm getting them for $255 each fitted etc from Tyrepower @ the gap. Bit out of the way but they said it will only take an hour to fit and align so I'll just hang around and have a coffee or something...

I think the c.drives will be good, never heard a bad report and they're kind of between expensive and budget.

Any reason you chose the 225 over something wider?

Nah not really...just that it has 215s on it now...I wanted all four the same so I could rotate them a bit more easily than having to get them off the rims - can just use my uncle's hoist and get them off and rotate. Thought 235s might be a bit wide for the front.

Yeah with the potenzas I couldn't find S0-3s for under about $320...quite a bit too much $$ for me.

wat if I can get you SO3/DZ101/ST115 around $300-$350 per type.....

Too late thanks mate I already got the tyre place to order them. It's ok anyway, $300 is a bit much for me just now. Also I read a quick review in the newsagent of 18 tyres in Wheels this month. Potenzas topped most tests from memory, but the yokos still got overall score of 98 out of 100 (potenzas got like 98.6)

I think I'll be happy with these.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
