Sydneysiders,

I want to buy some Bridgestone RE55 SP compound tyres for some track days and supersprints. Can anyone recommend the cheapest place in Sydney to get 'em.

I've heard that if you are a member of car club and have a cams licence you can get special prices.

I am a member of a car club and have a L2S licence.

Thanx

Gordin Levin Motorsport at Penrith are the Distrubitors for Bridgestone RE55's Tyres. If you are a member of the Skyline's Australia NSW Branch you will be entitled to discount. They are sponsors of the club.

Hope the offer still stands but i only need 2 X 235/45/17 as my rears need to be 275/40/17.

I'm about to put my mkiv supra on the track.

$1100/4=$275. Any damage at all? Are they the SP's?

Are they in Sydney as i may aswell buy new, as the freight from Melbourne will make them the same price.

I got a price here in Sydney, $321 new, does that sound right?

Thanx geeman

$321 new for 235/45/17 sounds like it spossible, though its cheaper then the palces i checked with when i was in Sydney in May. (Levin/Garys for D01Js etc) If thats the price for the 275s then thats a steal.:(

Another place to try may be Donellans tyres in Box Hill, Vic. It only costs about $60 to get 4 x tyres from Melb to Sydney

$321 was for the 235's.

I've heard Donellans is good, i'll give them a call tomorrow if they're open.

Thanx for your help, muc appreciated, i'll let you know how i go, who's cheaper etc.

I had a friend ring bridgestone yesterday and they said that the re55s are no longer in production we asked to be put on to technical to ask for replacement but they must have been at lunch no one answered

What would be equivilent (spelling) to the re55s in other brands??

Hi Matt, I find it hard to believe that the RE55s are out of production, give Gordon Levin Tyres at Penrith a ring, last time i was there they had heaps of stock. The equivalent is Dunlop Do2 tyres or Yokahama do a R compound tyre as well.

Ken

Re540 went out of production about 2 years ago but the Re55s are their replacement....I would expect them to be around for at least another 3 years, and even then you can be certain they will replace them with something better :D

Matt, Levin's want around $380 for 235.45.17.. I think Donnellans in Melbourne are a bit cheaper even including transport.

I finally got my RE55's.

Got 'em from Donnellans at Box Hill, Victoria, they were $100 cheaper than Gordon Levins in Penrith AFTER adding freight and fitting.

If you live in Sydney and want to compare prices i would definitely give Donnellans a call, they were awesome, I spoke to Paul. :P

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
