Anyone know the price of one of those popular Toyo tyres are? and where to get them? I swear i' saw a thread of some one advertising new tyres for $99 a pop. Can anyone find that thread?

Which ones? The T1R's or the semi slick R888's?

Check the group buy thread for the semi-slicks.

Hey buddy, Im from Taleb tyres and we've done a fair bit with members from SAU that can tell you we're the cheapest in sydney, what sizes are you after?

Al

Ahhh, sweet.

I'll ring you guys next time (never heard of you until now)

But anyway, last i used was Blair's at Peakhurst.

They were cheaper by about $100 per tyre on my TOYOs

I think i paid $290 for 255's/17s for the Trampios or whatever they're called.

Worst quote was about $500 a fregan tyre !!!! Pffft.

But on other tyres for my girlies car, found the local could match whatever i could find and Blairs weren't the cheapest.

Your phone is your friend :)

Ive used payless tyres in Chatswood as its very easy location wise.

I got some SP9000's dunlops for 180 each

Got the R888 semis from St Georgie tyres for around 190?

size was for 16 inch rim 225 wide

Hey Nick

Sorry nothing in a 255/30/20.

in regards to the inquiry, I dont really have anything dirt cheap, i dont deal much with Nankang in these performance sizes as too many customers have had problems with them, but i will tell you what i do have:

255/35/20 nitto NT555 for $275

275/30/20 Toyo T1S for $400 (if you're only after 2 then i can get you some B/S cheaper)

225/30/20, If youre after cheap i have the General, better than Nankang for $210.(NITTO also available)

Bought a set of rear tyres for the supra at Canterbury Rd Tyre Service, just walked in and got 225/50/16's for $50 each fitted and balanced. Bargain!

Tyres were dunlops or yokohamas, cant remember - but who cares for $50

At that price i dont really care how fast it goes through tyres

I can vouche for that!

Many thanks for my wheels and tyres by the way, those toyos have made such a difference.

Matt.

are the nittos a drag tyre?

The Nitto NT-555R Extreme is the drag radial version.

The most common drag radial sizes would be 255/50/16 and 275/40/17.

I normally use Black Tyres in Yennora, but a friend has just bought Jala Tyres at 21/ 116 McCredie Rd Guildford West 2161 (02) 9721 1500

Ask for Dori.

    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks. 
    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
