Sure, they gave it back in 20 minutes, but did you notice that it was a na lancer coupe they gave you back? Your car is in melbourne now, and white.

I've got 235/45 17, and 255/40 17. They show little wear even after track days at Eastern Creek. Very good in the wet as well.

$1044 fitted and balanced.

Wow, where the hell did you get them that cheaply from!? I was considering getting the Falken ST115's which are around that price, but if I can get the FM901's for that I would seriously consider it. My only issue would be that aren't the FM901's discontinued? That would mean that when I had to change my rears, I wouldn't be able to get the same tread pattern as the front. Not a big issue I know, but I like my tyres to match :)

Out of interest does anyone know how the FM901's compare with the ST115's? With regards to grip, tread wear, wet weather handling, etc. I assume the ST115's are quieter, which is one of their big selling points.

I've had a number of different tyres on my car in teh 2 1/2 years I've had my car...  IMO, best bang for your buck tyres are the Falken Azenis ST115's... They're slightly more grippy than the FM901's, and slightly cheaper... On the downside, they don't last _quite_ as long... But still have a reasonably good life... I got almost a year out of the ones on the back of my car :)

Holy crap, my question answered even before I asked it :)

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
