Fs: Michelin 270Mm X 650Mm X 18" Race Slicks. Much Faster Than Semi Slicks


Recommended Posts

Much faster then semi Slicks

I have 6 of these tyres in total in this size for sale. $150 each with plenty of race miles left in them.

2x in the softest compound S7 and 4x in the better race compound S8

The S7's are good for a few laps for a really fast time and are preferred by Time Attack cars but are not as consistent all day as the S8 compounds

The S8's do not go off and are preferred by most racers as they are consistent until completely worn out.

I drove a Commodore once at Eastern Creek til the canvas was exposed and the 8's were good up til that last lap. Amazing tyres.

Michelin recommend fitting to 10" to 11.5" rims but I know they work fine on 9" upwards to 11.5"

Always stored indoors (except on occasions when car is outside of course)

$660 each new. http://europeantechnique.com.au/michelin/Tyres/slick%20wet.htm

Located NW Sydney for pick up or I will ship anywhere via TNT

Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney $12.50 per tyre

PM me your email address and I will send you photos with tread depths marked. Generally 2 to 3mm plus across the tread so very usable tyres

For those wondering about how to compare the sizes of these slicks to street tyres, slicks are measured very simply

Michelin measure how wide it is = 270mm of tread width

Then they measure how high the whole tyre is = 650mm high

To compare them to your street tyres get a tape measure on your tyres and see how they compare.

If yours are 245 wide street tyres actually measure them as some 245s are less then 245mm and some more than 245mm

Then estimate if there is space for these slicks so they do not hit your guards or suspension

It is actually simpler than the street aspect ratio measurng system once you get your head around it

    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
