I was the surprised the fronts held up so well, didn't feel like they were going to give up anytime soon

I was driving the car pretty hard as well, didn't really understeer anywhere. It just did what I wanted it to do :)

The nitto invos are a great tyre they put my 336rwkw to the ground nicely :)

Got my Hankook Z222 on the evo yesterday. They are not overly noisey and they didn't make the steering feel as twitchy as it felt with the dunlop SP MAXX that were on it and they did make my steering feel a lil heavier and made turn in a little more progressive.

Havent tested them out in the twisties yet though. Hopefully tonight :)

I gave the RSR's a good run again on the weekend, still not bad for the price! They obviously are cheap tyres but when you drive them at their limit they handle it well! Nice and quiet too...

yh true i have RSR 255/35/18 good in the wet can launch at 3500 with my few killerwasps and it grabs instantly.

This tyre test is interesting. It shows braking from 100km/h dry and wet.

Down the bottom there are some real shockers but the mid-range performers seem good value.

straight line braking in wet or dry is not a good indicator or lateral grip (corners) nor how they 'feel' or how they grip once traction has been broken and then in regaining traction...

Nonetheless, still meaningful statistics :)

Bridgestone potanzas re240s street slicks

Dry 10/10 once you get heat into them

Wet 3/10 just for normal driving

i rate these types 10/10 for price as im a true believer that you get what you pay for

"Potanza RE240s" ? Was wondering what these were. You might want to take another look at your tyre sidewall markings :)

Unless you're referring to the old Potenza RE540s (semi-comps, not slicks), which I believe are long discontinued?

I used Tirerack to get my Michelins due to the fact Michelin Australia cant be bothered bringing 265/35/18 into Australia

Once i sent my money i received my tyres in 5business days too my door!!!

Michelin Australia arnt bringing every size into the country, this is reflected on their website

Re: PSS

Ta Nick for feedback on this :)

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of posts on here lately.

I have Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec that i have had on my 33 for the past 18 months or so. I haven't really tried many tyres so i cannot really rate them outta 10 but I am well happy with them. I am glad I spent the $$ and bought some good tyres. Alot better than previous KU31.

I know a few others bought the same tyres from tirerack.com. Any other opinions on these tyres ?

Anyone got a hook up for Hankook RS3?

Want to run a 275 35 18 and RSR dont have that size... (Currently RSR all round but keen to give something else a shot!)

Best price I got was through jax tyres (believe it or not) Prospeed?? I think up the coast go through em a fair bit too give them a try Matt ;)

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
