Can anyone recommend a tyre shop to sell me a set of Street legal race tyres?

My V35 is being complied in Brisbane now so I thought fitting a set of these tyres would be better than a cheap compliance set that I'll never use. At least I'll then have a set of track tyres for later.

I'm in Perth so so local knowledge would be great if someone can help.

Hehe, this is the Queensland section, dude :(

The car is in Brisbane at the moment getting complied, but he lives in Perth :(

So he needs local Brisbane knowledge

Try Tyretech at Albion or there is another place accross the road from Suncorp staduim that does street and race cars. I think it is called Mark Williams Automotive?

What are you after? Like size, price etc.

As i have a contact here at work who'se husband runs his own small business and sells tyres at wolesale price. To give you an example, i got my Hankook K104 255x17x40 for $252 each

Give me a ring if you want 0403 477 372

Just got off the phone to Ian Boettcher Motors (3282 2722) (im after a set too) and they said youd be looking at roughly $500 a tyre.

Bridgestone RE070 he can do for $330

Top Yokohama for $540

Seeing as though your in Perth, i could arrange to get ur tyres to your compliance shop, if you want.

Also i'd give consideration to all the stuff that is happening on the docks as all the containers cannot be accessed so there may be a wait for your tyres.

what sorta size are you after?

There's a new chain of tyre shops opening up up here at the moment called "Tyres and More" that seem to do a bit of motorsport related tyres... Mind you, they were rather exxy (i think they wanted like $360/tyre for RE55's in 205/55/16)

how about semi-slick tyres as close to race tyres while still being legal

That is the sort of tyre I was hoping to get as long as it was DOT approved.

I haven't seen my car in person yet but I think they run

225/45-18s front and 245/45-18s rear but it depends on what the tyre placard the compliance shop fits says

Cheers

they run

225/45-18s front and 245/45-18s rear Cheers

That's confirmed as far as sizing goes.

At present I would be happy just to source a good set of road tyres at the right price .

Cheers

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
