[R3N]

[Z2TT]

Tec 9 Tyres, will beat any price (at least they said they will).

I'll ask my hubby to check for you tomorrow, he runs a tyre store.
What car are they for? Do you need them fitted as well?

[DWRacing]

give scott at tech 9 a call just remeber alot of those cheap shitty tyres on ebay and around arnt load rated for heavier cars like a commodore. not only that the you have to trust those 4 small patches of rubber are to only thing holding your pride in joy to the road so i would buy from a shop that is trusted

[dmwill]

Thanks - keep me posted :)

For a Mazda 626 out of all things.

Current tyre is a 205/55/15 which are due for replacement in the next month or so. Keen to upgrade to a set of OEM Mazda 17s. Need a 40 profile to keep as close to the stock rolling diameter as possible.

[MISS 13B]

OK so he can get a brand called Minerva for $109 each fitted.
It's a mid range quality.

If you're looking for something of a higher quality/price, let me know.

Apparently, they're not an odd size either so I'm not sure why you were told they would be hard to get.

[Lump]

price on 4 215x50x16 (dont need fitting on car - just to rims)
thanks

[R3N]

Apparently, they're not an odd size either so I'm not sure why you were told they would be hard to get.

Not an uncommon size at all. Toyo have their range in this size (got them in that exact size before)

I got them on another car of mine, they were very cheap, 215/30R18s. I do not think much of them, much the same as all the other cheap garbage tyres.

[Dirty32]

[cactus]

Best place to get M/T Street Radial (for drags)?

Opinions people... Toyo Proxes4 vs Sumitomo HTR Z3 ????

[wormbo2]

Rotalla 235/40 R18
anyone used/had/recommend them?

opinion on brand, quality, etc.

not interested if theyre good for racing, need some decent (read: cheap) tyres for rims, but tight on kesh.

any help appreciated people.

[mys1]

If they are black and round they will do

Just dont drive beyond the tyres capabilities

[Tocchi]

Westy has some Sonar tyres that aren't too bad for $105

[Faz]

+11ty

[mitcho]

I think a few boys have used those Rotella's for drift with alright results for a cheap tyre. Similiar to all other cheap sunny, sonar, altezza, clear, durun etc etc.

I picked up some cheap Durun's the other week from westy in 235/40/18 for under 100 on special. Theyre a great budget tyre in my opinion, well for drift anyway.

[scottiedoesntn0]

What would you guys suggest for grip up front but dailyable? am going to go for some quotes monday and not keen on a semi slick

looking in for 225/40's.. for a little bit of stretch on a 9'.

bought abot 30 of these for myself and few mates etc... so i hope they half decent.


had them on the rear of my daily for about a month and no now and complaints so far.. havent really pushed them or anythign but.
didnt feel unsafe in the wet

not sure how credibly source is (salesman) but apparently bridgestone bought shares in the manufacturing facility and are goign to start pumping out tyres from same factory. take with a pinch of salt.

Toyo Proxes T1Sport, very happy with their performance.

[V70R]

Looking for 235-50-18.

Currently using Potenza 245-45-18 and they're too stiff.

[mitchy]

If they are black and round they will do

Just dont drive beyond the tyres capabilities

my compliance tyres were black, the round bit is unknown!
they had about 100 grams of balancing weights in one spot, haha.

[j3rk]

Rather then starting another tyre thread ill bump this one.
What's the latest fad in cheap street tyres? Have emailed Tirerack, Option1, Westy and Taleb tyres for quotes.

Looking for a decent tyre to fit 19"x10.5" for street driving. To suit R34 GTR.
Figured, 285x35 or similar? k go.

[RICEY]

Ive found Maxxis Victra MAZ1 to be pretty decent for street, $275 each for 245/35R19s.

They hold on well for me but I only have around 315rwhp, guessing the R has substantially more :D

Great wet weather tyre too.

275x35R19 will be more common/cheaper
Some decent mid range tires on tirerack.com in between $2-300 range in that size

[Sebdullah]

shouldnt you be looking at more of rim & tire package :P

[j3rk]

Tyres sorted, cheapies to do the job... Seb tyres should look good on the varrostens. :D

[heavyduty1340]

Looking for 2 sets of tyres atm

1 set for std SSV rims - 245/40 x 19 for a mod v8 sportwagon

2 only 245/35 x 20 on front of blown v8 SSV sedan

Both cars are driven pretty hard so want quality tyres.

I dont mind coming from down south to the city to have fitted - just want good tyres at a good price and no crap in between

[j3rk]

Need some opinions on tyres after a few extra options came in cheap, my choices have come down to:
275/30R19:
Kumho KU31 $420ea,
Feds 595EVO $340ea,
Feds 595SS $330ea,
Roadstone N3000 $265ea
Achillies Sport $250ea

All prices are fitted and balanced.

[b/rad]

^^^^
595SS

decent all rounder for the $$$

[b/rad]

Achillies 150 on fleabay for same size

[N14TI]

275/30R19 Feds 595EVO Can get them for $290inc each but not fitted. But there was only 2 available.

[RICEY]

Avoid Achilles at all costs. Cheap tyre is shit tyre.

[j3rk]

For the cost savings of probably $50-80 I'd rather support a local business that will stock them constantly.

No opinions on these tyres people?

[Evman]

Have a look at Nexen NT05s if semi slicks are an option. A mate runs them and does regular track days and they're the best semi-slick he's come across so far.

[beatle]

I love 595SS' as a great bang for buck tyre. for an extra 10dorrah I would go the EVO, never used them, but are the next up in their range of UHP tyres.

[Madhav]

I previously upgraded from KU31's to Federal RS-R's and they are definitely a lot better, but now I am seriously thinking to upgrade from RS-R's to Nitto NT01's or Toyo R888 as traction is becoming a real problem, and it's about to get a lot worse after the cams and larger turbo housing are finally completed.

Aussie prices are still annoyingly high though in comparison to the USA.

Anyone got any aussie hookups?

Aussie price for 275/35/18 R888 and NT01 are at very best about $375-420 each (not including fitting) Click link here (http://www.streettotrack.com/tyressemislicks.htm)

USA price for R888 and NT01 275/35/18: $250-275.

I bought a set of Nitto NT01 from Ozzytyres.com.au for just under $1k landed in WA.
They seem to discount further if you contact them directly / buy now.
235 and 275 in 18" - can't remember the exact sizes, sorry.

Called them just now and was quoted $483 each for 275/35/18. Crackpot price to say the least.

If you have a different number then let me know. If I could find them for $300 shipped I would do it.

[tinto]

Yeah, I think I got some sort of drunken midnight special.
I didn't need them at the time but couldn't let it go at that price.

Have you ever thought your traction issues are not just from your tyres?

[DISTRBD]

LOL KU31s i reckon a daewoo nubira would struggle for traction with them on , as for the 888s we ran 245x40x18 on the 32 gtr and it was average for grip . AO50 in softs are goooood .Or possible you have a shit suspension set up causing your traction issues

Thanks for the input. When I got the car the previous japanese owner had the camber set to wear the crap out of one side the tyres, so I had it adjusted from some local tyre shop. It could be worth taking it to somebody more knowledgeable as these guys were just pretty average and probably didn't even know what a supra was. Now that I think about it, I've had a few people tell me the same thing. Sort out your suspension first. Just kinda overlooked it.

Can anyone recommend someone who knows there stuff for adjusting camber?

[mod]

wheels world, wa suspension, wilkinson suspension

[Alt_F4]

WA Suspension, going in there this week actually...

[thrtytwo]

I'm looking at new tyres atm, leaning towards the goodyear eagle F1 asymmetrical 2 (that's a mouth full) Only because they have awesome reviews everywhere.

Anyone got any input on these? or would say try something different?

It's 90% for the street with the odd trackday/skidpan planned

[Lonewolf]

what coilovers do you have?
if too hard you may just need something softer to allow more squat/weight transition over the rear to help

[miss_petepie]

Is there a shop someone could recommend SoR that I can take the Foz too and not get ripped off.. sick of going to places and get told stupid things just as Im a chick and have no idea...

dont want to use beaurepairs as they ripped me for my car being low and its a danger blah blah illegal blah blah..

I wanna get all new tyres for it and dont need them for racing etc just for normal street driving etc :)

any help appreciated :)

Thanks

[beatle]

Westy or most Tyrepowers Ive found are pretty good

[tinto]

Tirerack.com sells Sumitomo HTR Z II tyres for $114 US each plus shipping...
Anyway, I'm looking to get 2 x 235/45/17's & 2 x 275/40/17's for 17x8.5" & 17x9.5" wheels respectively.
