Walk out to car to find right rear AD08R nearly flat

Either fast leak or dodgy neighborhood fkin with my property again

Lose lose for Birds

one of my AD08R's deflated unnaturally quickly. other 3 were fine. was in a backyard, so no one had touched the car.

That's some Greg shit right there

Did it do it again or a one off?

Fitting AD08's to my car right now

Got told the fronts (Michelin Pilot sport 3's) are a horrible match and almost certainly will result in me binning the car

Greg issues occurring before even using them now

Widths of Front vs Rear?

I wouldn't say the tyre itself is a horrible match... your fronts aren't hardly 215 Chinese tyres... Unless the tyre place thinks you're going to be tracking it... in which case I'd be recommending AD08R's on the front as well or the rears will just push you off the track in a greg level understeer.

Coming from 245/275 Nitto NT05's

235/265 now

Pilot Sport 3 fronts, AD08 rears.

Did say I may track it, but he was more concerned i'd bin it driving in normal traffic or highway cruising.

All tyres involved were a great deal, etc.

Figured it'd be fine, if anything the PS3's should be more grippy than the AD08's, hence them being on the front of the car.

But yeah. Slip angles apparently very different, told to take EXTREME caution, and I'd notice it within 5kms of driving the car if its gonna be a problem.

I have AD08R 265 on the rear and AD08 255 on the front

It doesn't understeer really, in spite of the fronts being a street version of the rear semis

Actually is quite balanced feeling

I also postulate that the rears will wear down faster and return to a slight oversteer

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
