275/60/15 - $245ea

Would this profile tyre fit my R33?

Would you recommend them or the 40's you mention earlier?

I always thought more profile = more squat upon launch.

Nope, get the 40's mate. Like I said, these are much better tyres than the Nitto's I ran 1.6 second 60 footers on.

Put me down for:

A pair of: 275/40/R17's ($450) &

A pair of: 235/60/R15's ($380)

Total Amount (Excluding freight to VIC 3021) = $830

Please send me final price including freight. Plus your bank details.

Thanks Adrian.

Cheers,

Bill

Glad you like them. Let me know if you guys need racing tips on how to get the most out of them. If anyone else wants these tyres, they will be delivered in the new year.

Will I be recieve mine this week? :nyaanyaa:

Has something gone wrong with the freight?

hey adrian, is it safe to run these tyres with the space between the trye and the shock absorber spring seat being only 7mm or should i be using a spacer as you said i might need too.

Hi Mate. How much room is between the tyre and your outer guard lip? If there's sufficient room, it might not be a bad idea to run a 3mm spacer. Remember that the top of the tyre will lean in towards the shock on launch.

theres enough room for a 3mm spacer, mabie 5mm at the most. I might have to do that until I can get some adjustable upper arms and adjust my camber to positive 1 or 2 degrees. are you using 3mm spacers?

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
