I'm having a cleanup, and as I'll be selling the skyline shortly (It's being replaced by the stagea for the expanded family.. :-) it means I've got some tires that I'd been collecting for future use for sale -

4 x Yokohama AVID S306 255/40 ZR 17 (only slightly used) -SOLD

2 x Bridestone Grid II 235/45 ZR 17 - SOLD

4 x Firestone F690 215/50 R17 91V

I don't really want to break up each set of 4 (and the set of 2). I'm in Melbourne, and am happy to drop them of anywhere.

For pics (I got to frustrated trying to use the gallery) look at http://www.r34skyline.com/tires.htm (they are a bit dirty given they have been stored in the garage roof :-)

More details ->

4 x Yokohama AVID S306 255/40 ZR 17 (only slightly used)

These are worth over $300 new (I checked today). I'm selling them for $120 each.

There would be 75% to 85%+ tread left (6mm), as I think they were put on new a few months before the car was sold in Japan (there are still the little bits of rubber on the side of the tires, as they haven't come off yet).

They were on my skyline when it arrived, but I had to take them off for compliance. Always meant to put them back on again, but never got around to it! Now that I've got the stagea (and am selling the skyline (R34 GTX:-)shortly), they are a bit too sporty for it - which is why I'm selling them.

2 x Bridestone Grid II 235/45 ZR 17

These are worth well over $200 new (they are the Z ones). I'm selling them for $75 each.

As you can see in the photo's, lots of tread left - I don't know as a percentage, but would guess 75%+ 6mm to 7mm

4 x Firestone F690 215/50 R17 91V

$50 each.

Also plenty of tread left - these were on my recently arrived stagea, I would have left them on apart from compliance! But now I've put slightly different sized ones on, so don't want to keep these as spares.

NOTE: There are no defects/holes etc, but you can't use these tires for compliance (they all came down from Japan).

Sorry, I didn't realise there were rules on putting a price on. I'll do that tonight, with a "or nearest offer" attached.

I just want to get rid of them at whatever the market price is. Having no idea, I'll post a price and and see what happens..

I'd take 4x Yoko tyres for $120 each depending on cost to send to Bundaberg, Queensland - $70?

Sorry, already sold via PM to someone in Melbourne. You missed them by about an hour.. :D

Rest going shortly I suspect.. Wife will be very happy not to have them sitting around! :)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
