QLD Whoretown...

jay did it 90 degrees x 3 times i think.  Slip and luke can vouch for it.

prolly cause I am not that brave yet.

[Genesis®]

J, can arrange to see pics of the car?

and how should he wanna cash for it?

what do ur rims look like? 17s?

I want some nice grippy stuff... Nankangs sounds promising

[BelGarion]

I thought they were pretty good.  I used my last set for 35 laps around Q.R. and they did pretty well.  Looked a little worse for wear afterwards though as to be expected under those conditions.  Great in the wet, and I beat Paul by 2 sec at the last time trial (forget witches hat).  Can't be too bad.

Don't how much they would be in your size Eugene.

i do agree but paul and i both had them on when we hit morgan park short track

and after 5 or more hard laps they started gettin greasy on me, and he complained of the same problem

[Eug]

so what do you guys reckon for the tyres?

I'll need a pretty decent set before I take Nebo again.

[jlnewton]

Mmmm. Look at where the Nankang advise comes from. Sqizz, can be seen frequently sidwayz and John, where r u John I can't see you through the tyre smoke! The choice is yours.

federals are pretty good according to most people

i found nangkangs were good

dunlop fm901s i have on the front of my car are awesome

[Eug]

haha.. ok ok.. true..

well.. u suggested A539s... james reckons they get greasy...

soooo..... will they fit on a NA?

Gordo's got Yokohama Advans but he's only got 2...

[Eug]

my federals arent good... cudnt hold the road that well last night..

they are straight tread too.. which is another thing

I did encounter a bit of understeer after a couple of laps, the tyre isn't particularly suited to track work, I think the blocks are too big on the outside of the tyre. Having said that, you should never encounter that type of heat/punishment on the road unless you are a complete phsyco. I think they are a great tyre for road conditions, spirited drives through the mountains and the like. I will be getting them again.

[BelGarion]

yer i left my nangkangs out in the middle of nowhere, tho i did the same to the yokos

oh i left some of those in warwick (the place that is)

[predator]

mine would be cheap.. i really want to sell the whole rims and tyres as the lot.. i got em posted up on a couple of other forums. They're gts-x rims, but will fit an R33 n/a. But really if you just want tyres, go buy some tyres 16" good tyres should be cheap.

i got them for the 31, but with the buggered diff its not doing anything like a burnout anytime soon. Prolly too underpowerd anyhow

[jlnewton]

I had federals on my car when I first got it. In the dry I thought they were pretty good, but they are the single scarist tyre I have ever used in the wet.

[Eug]

JL, so u think A539s wud they fit a 4stud? dunno aye..

where'd u get em from.. I'll call up

don't listen to him eug. Nankangs=5h17.

Ask anyone. They smoke up ok but in the wet they SUCK.

[chaos]

why dont u go to bob jane eug?? they should be able to help

[BelGarion]

its true im a maniac

[predator]

who drives in the wet anyhow/?

i lived in melbourne, i drove in the wet all the time.. you can drive with bald tyres in the wet as long as u take it easy.

[Eug]

single scarist tyre I have ever used in the wet.

wellington point... so i found out...

Thinking of getting the whole lot Gordo.. rims and rubber...

what ya gts-x look like? do u have em post up here on SAU?

[predator]

depends what ur budget is really.. for something cheap you're gonna pay around $200 a tyre if not less.. good = $300 - $400 per tyre.
