265/35/18- which tyres have a 94+ load rating?

[fane]

take the sticker off for next time? or you have to legally have it?

[SKYL9]

yeah or borrow some1's like mine and copy it

mine says load index of 90 (500kg's) and speed rating no less than v

but iv only got a 93 gtst

Bit quick on the "harrassment" trigger that buddy...

If it's on the manufacturer's tyre placard as 670 load rating or higher, I don't see that as being harassment.

Instead, I have to question Nissan's motive for putting such a high load rating for the car.

Really wouldnt cops have better things to do than hassel james about something as pity as this? Y not catch someone who is breaking a law

A bit quick but ultimately im right and you know it.

The tyre placard was placed on his car by an imbecile.

Although I think it's being incredibly nit-picky, technically a law has been broken.

How many times do you cross a street not near a crossing a week? That is technically jay walking so you should be fined for each time you do it, but u wont coz it a :bs!: law 99% of the time.

Don't misconstrue what I've written INASNT. James was picked up on a technicality because he's done most of his modifications legally. I'm not condoning the action of the Police officer, but if he's been told to come down hard on imports by his superiors, then he is simply following orders.

Victoria has been ***ed up since steve bracks became premier. If u lived here you would know that 95% of the canaries the cops hand out here are bs, especially on imports. Its all about the $165 fine they give you for driving a modified vehicle they care about, even worse now coz the fault revenue raising speed camera are not operational for atleast another month coz the vic government was in such a rush to make extra $$ they went out and bought cheap faulty cameras which cant even be sent back to their manufactuer to be repaired as the manufacturer has gone broke!!!

It really pisses me off when cops pick on pety things like this when theres so much crime going on elsewhere that they do nothing about. U are better off being a criminal in victoria, u will get hasseled by the cops less.

Rant over.

Have just been to see Dean at UPI - and now have a 'new' placard that states 600kg as a minimum. Also visited Ice - and took photos of the placard on the GTRs there: 1 was for 600kg, 1 was for 580kg (R34 GTR).

As NRB said - technically, these tyres were illegal for my car. It just so happens that it might have been the placard that was wrong, and not the tyres - but I didn't know that, and I wouldn't have expected the police to either.

The officers involved have all been very helpful - it's their job to inspect cars. Sure, they didn't inspect anyone else... but still. The lead officer was actually concerned that he made a mistake - as the 93 index is pretty high. His XR6-Turbo had 615kg tyres on it, and I'm sure there' snot that big a weight difference between the cars. Hell - with all the pursuit gear, his may be heavier than mine!

What it would seem though - is the placard on my car is the exception to other cars. I will present my case to VicRoads - showing that most GTRs are asked to be above 600kg, some above 580kg - and my tyres are rated at 650kg.

I'll keep you posted on how I get on.

Also - once this is sorted, I'll fit the 600kg placard to the car (it states it's for an R33 GTR, whereas mine does not) - so this never happens again

But... I guess it's something to be mindfull of.

Thanks again all for your help.

u aint gonna pay the $165 fine r u?

[Jamezilla]

Nope. I not pay fine

[Jamezilla]

Oh - and your car is looking good.

Was being loaded onto Jack's new remote-control truck at ICE.

[Guest INASNT]

sweet. Still gonna send a complaint in the head of the vic police??

[Guest INASNT]

yep i know, i might finially get to drive it soon.

[Jamezilla]

Well... I can't really complain about anything.

They inspected my car as they are being told to do.

The sticker said 670+, my tyres said 650 - therefore, defect.

Sure it's a pain, but they are doing their job.

At the end of the day, the police weren't wrong about the tyres, the sticker is wrong. If I had been running tyres that were grossly under the vehicle's weight rating, it could be very dangerous.

I wont pay a fine but I also wont get the hours of running around trying to sort this out credited to me.

I WILL write a letter to Stonnington TMU - detailing what happened, but more as an informative note so they know for future reference. The real complaint is to VicRoads for not having a standard placard for GTRs. And they'll be getting a letter too

[Guest INASNT]

while u r at it write a letter to bracks stating from SAU Victoria that he is a wanker and asking him if infact his grandfather was hitler

[Jamezilla]

Heh - OK

[SiX]

Dude thats bullshit.

93 is 650kg x 4 = 2600 kg

Your GTR does not even come close to needing tyres with a higer load index. This is harrassment and you should file a complaint.

Well what happens when you go around a corner quickly? I'd say there would be a lot more load on the tires when you go around a corner.

What if cornering hard and hitting a pot hole... ouch... I can see the reason for the high requrements, Just covering their asses for the worst.

And i haven't mentioned towing either

go and read the thread before commenting.

[Guest INASNT]

I wonder if mine datsun had shitty tyres on when he rote off his GTR while hard cornering? Or he is just incompetent?
