Why not price up some Ad08R. There is a buy 3 get 1 free offer running atm and Bob Jane does some pretty sharp pricing. I bought a set in 265/35/18 and they where cheaper than RS3 and not too much more than RSRR in the same size. Food for thought.

oh sweet ! thanks, i didnt even consider them, as usually advan gear is hella expensive.

how do they go in the wet ? and track?

Fantastic on track as everyone keeps saying. On the street in wet weather they are quite good but it's not like I try to go hard in the wet on the street. In my experience so far there hasn't been any unwanted wheelspin. They feel as good and possibly better than rsr and Achilles 123s in the wet and much better dry. When I called around for quotes, surprisingly bob Jane did the best pricing by far.

Just ring around, someone may have stock somewhere. Even if they don't have stock, I'd be asking to buy now to lock in the buy 3 get 4 deal, then ask them to just fit them later once they're available (assuming you can wait).

Also, just call around to any other shop you can think of. When I put AD08's on my Golf R, I literally called a dozen different places. Prices varied from $460/tyre down to $360/tyre (235/35/19).

My honest opinion, don't let the price scare you. For daily, spirited twisty roads, or full track days, nothing beats the AD08's. My last set even lasted 35,000kms - without any rotations either!

I have no idea where you are located, but if you're in Melbourne, try Associated Tyre Services in Cheltenham. They deal with Yokohama a lot, so get much better pricing that other shops.

well unfortunately i need tires this week. so RS-3 are out of stock, ado8r are months away. 

so Federal RS-RR are the only ones i can get my hands on. i loved the RSR so these should be better than the predecessor, but noiser.

Thanks guys, might give the Bridgestone 003s a try, our very own Nismoid has reviewed them here and recons they give the Michelin PS3s a good run for their money and they're a bit cheaper too.

 

Just done 10k on Direzza DZ102 on our daily. Plenty of life left, can do $40k+.. Quiet tyre

Quite impressed with them.  Usually $180-200 for an 18 inch tyre we got ours for $144 each. Great tyre, can easily compete with $250 tyres

 

Dry 8/10

wet n/a

value for money 10/10 for $144.  9/10 for $200.

Would buy again if they had correct sizes. Sizes are a bit limited....

that is the most biased review ever. Paid-to-plug I think.

read recent posts, I didn't rate the RE003's. Go the invo's instead.

Thanks for feedback, I've only book in so can still change my mind, will get some quotes for the Nitto Invos and PS3s

This is my daily and will never see a race track, so my priorities are wet grip and noise.

I've got PS3s on my Stagea and love them in both wet and dry, and just recently put a set of RE003s on my mum's Golf and found them great too in the dry (haven't had a chance to try wet grip), if a little noisy. Nothing turning up the radio won't sort out - the noise is far from excessive.

I have these on my daily as well. For the price they are a really good tyre, Good dry grip, very good in the wet. No road noise and zero tramlining. My only criticism would be the sidewalls do seem a little soft and will flex a little more than I would like when pushed hard into a corner. But otherwise a good value underrated tyre

It'll be fine for a street car (from the reports I've read). Although, Nitto Invo is equivalent and quieter apparently.

I do rate the invos. Wet grip is very good.

Unfortunately the Nitto Invo are not available in my size, 205.55.16 any other suggestions?

yeh, go another size. Why are you only using 205's on a skytwizzline anyway?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
