Hi All

Well, after spending the last 2 weeks trying to find tyres, and every time i find a tyre i like being told "there are none in Australia in your size" (205/55/16, to go on standard rims) (This has happened with both the Hankook K104's and Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3), i have been recommended the Goodyear Revspec RS-02 (The place that recommended them actually suggested i get the Eagle F1, but then found out that there were none in Aus)

I see these tyres recently places First overall in the Wheels (Or Motor?) Tyre test for 2005?

Does anyone have a copy of the article that i could see?

The shop has ordered me 4 of these in, and at around $230ish a tyre, i didn't think it was overly bad (though i would have preferred to pay the $190/tyre for the Eagle F1's)

Does anyone have any experience with these tyres?

No, but had experience with Gy Eagle GSD 3 f1's, I had 205/55/16's on my R32 GTS 4. Some people raved about them - overseas, but I didn't think they were anything too special, good in wet but awd makes most tyres look good. Not great in 205 size for a 1450kg plus car, too soft and squirmy under really hard driving(trackwork) - prob a much better tyre in 225 or 235 size for a car weighing as much as a skyline does.

So just a review reinforcing your decision to buy another tyre..

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
