Damn customs delay!

Reason For Delay:

1. Shipment requires a Commercial Invoice.

Stupid customs, let me have my tyres I have nekkid TE37s!!!

[GTRKat]

Sooooo. Turns out the customs delay was caused by Tirerack not sending the right paperwork. Once this came through and after a fee for duty and an $89 quarantine inspection fee I had my new tyres in my hot little hands!

Overall, still shitloads cheaper than buying here and the tyre guys that fitted my new semis to my TE37s looked suitably in awe when we turned up there today.

This is a very welcome sight in my lounge and will be even more welcome on the GTR when she comes home soon:

Over all, experience with Tirerack was awesome!

Nice! I have a set of TE37SL myself

I also can get anything that tirerack has to offer, if not a bit cheaper

yeah same thing I had, tirerack didn't include the Quarantine Paperwork, next time I'll get them to email it to me and follow up from this end just to be sure customs gets it.

+2 for what tyres are they and let us know how they perform ? thats some serious contact on the outside block.

[GTRKat]

Yeah that's a good idea I might do the same thing.

They are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups.

Will let you know, hopefully testing them soon

Nice driven an M3 with these on it awesome tyres!!!

[Peter89]

with the dollar so strong, good time to be importing tyres.

[tricstar]

just put Michelin Pilot PS2 on my GTR, excellent grip dry and wet, little bit noisier than the Dunlop P600 that came off but I would expect the Michelins to last longer.

for anyone looking at a good tyre, I went for a spin in a mates new M3 and could not believe the grip, under braking, cornering and accelerating , in didn't step out or even give a hint of a squeal, and we were putting them to the test---------Pirelli PZero's, I'm very happy with the Michelins, but after that drive I'll be trying the Pirelli's next.

Yoko AD08s impressed me after a weekend on the skidpan

VERY good in the wet, car slid - thats gonna happen with 370rwkw, but it was predictable and didn't break traction as soon as i expected

Welcome on the forum. I must add I've got nothing but excellent service from Tire Rack and the price is great (even during the "normal" exchange rates). But yea, its a bit unfortunate Kat got hit by that quarantine. Mine went through without any hassle.

Welcome to the forum Tim! As you can see, we're all big fans

Be even bigger fans if they stocked Bridgestone Re55's.

if you like the AD08s try some dunlop Z1 star spec's next time. cheaper and better. I have AD08s on my grey 32 with the 2.7/motec etc and AD07s on the other 32 and the Z1s on the evo and having now driven on all of them extensively I reckon the Z1 are a touch better for a weekend car/occasional track car. very cheap from our friends at tirerack too.
