Taleb tyres. Sau for sale section in business section.

Got quoted 280 a tyres for 265*35*18's delivered

But for what sort of tyre?

If I had an R33 GT-R I would only be putting good tyres on there. Toyos, Yokohamas, Pirelli, Continental, Dunlup etc.

Shipping has never cost me more than $350 to Sydney.

Takes about 1 week to get to your door.

So far I've had Dunlop Direzzas Z1 Star spec and Hankook Venus R-S3 from here, excellent service and it worked out half the price for the Dunlops and $400 cheaper than anywhere in Australia for the Hankooks.

The savings are only worth it if you buy high quality tyres though, but then you are getting top quality tyres for the price of average ones anyway.

Yes I am a tirerack fanboy.

Shop smart, Shop S mart.

Get on there and send him a pm, has everything for a great price, will have a look and let u know what tyre they were

Oh I have, costed me up on a set of Toyo R888s, very reasonably price.

Still nowhere near $280 per tyre delivered for something like a big 265/35R18 :blink:

Tirerack for quality tyres at the price of average tyres locallly, but only worth it if your getting top end stuff, very happy with my tirerack purchase, of Michelin Pilot Sport, excellent grip and wear, $650 each locally or $1400 for a full set delivered thumbsup.gif

I'll be trying Pirelli P-zero next time..

How much was delivery, if you don't mind me asking?

Ive tried KU31's and i had problems with them at high speed and shit wearing characteristics.

+1

I would never put 595's on my car

Have you ever driven on 595s? Considering they are a relatively hard compound they still grip VERY well in the wet compared to other tyres that suit daily driving and supposedly last long also.

If i was to buy tyres for my gtr again i would buy federals again no doubt about it, im pretty fussy about daily tyres and im happy with them in every aspect! As for a track tyre i would definitely buy a softer tyre, possibly toyo t1rs but why drive on a soft high performance tyre on public roads if ur not going to use them to their full potential?

I dont get why people knock a tyre if they havent tried it.

From memory about 300. that was a while ago.

Just ordering some 255/50/19. For wife's kluger and the freight is $335 So basically getting continentals for the price of a much cheaper brand locally. Only time will tell if they are better than the bridgestones that are coming off. Having only done 30k with obviously no track work ?

I've driven on them on my old housemates car.

So I am speaking from first hand experience.whistling.gif

When RE001's are a mid priced tyre, last 30-40k km, and grip fantastically wet and dry, I don't know why you would put shitty 595's on it when tyre's are the only thing keeping your car to the road, irrelevant as to whether you use them to their potential- emergency braking is never planned! You would think someone who owns a GTR wouldn't be scared to spend an extra couple of hundred for better rubber.

road car BUDGET- Federal 595SS

street car - Pirelli PZero,Bridgestone RE001aggressive street, weekend track: RE11's, KU36's, 595RSR's (all 180ish tread wear, 'semi style' tyres)

track car - Bridgestone RE001 RE55 or similar R comp.

That statement isn't accurate. You have listed all 'street' tyres above 200 tread wear... Fixed it for you cheers.gif

Tyres are the best performance upgrade for your car, people go on about eBay shit being bad then skimp on tyres.

The only thing stopping you from putting your power down or crashing is the tyres.

Hard cheap tyres are for taxis.

    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
