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..

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
