tyres?

[mickGTR]

Anybody know who has the cheapest tyres?

After a full set of 19" 275/30 pref yokahama or pierelli P0's

[Aurora]

Try Pat's Tyres in Mitchell, they seem pretty good. Next round of tyres i get i'm goin to try Forenza, on the reccomendation of another Skyline owner. I run Falken ST115s now, and they were good, but have only lasted 9 months.

You might like to try Tempe or St George Tyre Service. They were about $100/corner cheaper than here for 255/45/17 Falkens.

I'm getting some too, in the next couple of weeks (prolly Dunlop FM901's) so i'm interested to know this too!

I know sydney would be cheaper but i want somewhere local..

[poyz]

FM901's are no longer in production.

They got durezza's (spelling?) to replace it.

If you mean Firenza then I recommend these too! Have the ST-03 on my rears for over a year and a half and have outlasted the set of Falken Ziex's on the front. Got em from Bob Jane for around 200.

[Aurora]

ooooh, big spender

I'm waiting til i've run a track day on these old tyres before i replace them

I've got my car booked in for suspension tweaks and wheel alignment before Saturdays driving Shell.

For tyres talk to Johnno or Trent at Tuggeranong Tyrepower, tell them Daniel with the low Silver R32 GTR that they fitted the Toyo proxis T1-S to earlier this year sent you ; )

They are good guys and will give you a good price, much better than everywhere else I tried.

Ewen

Where do you get your suspension done? Inline steering and suspension?

[Aurora]

I had it done there last time.

I just need it slightly adjusted, and a wheel alignment quickly, so i've gone to Revell in tuggeranong. Then i need to get a leaking valve on my rear left tyre looked at.

But yeah, i reccomend Inline for any serious suspension work.

yeah i know Ewen, they cost a bit but they are GREAT!! haven't driven too much with them on yet, but the difference is HUGE compared to the crap ones that were on there before! i'm very happy

hope you've still got a fair bit of grip on your old tyres...Putty Rd has some serious corners!!

[Aurora]

She'll be right.... :bahaha:

If you are talking about Firenzas I would not recommend them at all. I have always believed in you get what you pay for and the Firenzas illustrate that.

Had 4 of them on my liberty and it was great in the dry but horrid in the wet. The Falkens I was running previously were much better in the wet.

[Aurora]

Yeah i love my ST115s.

They've gripped excellent throughout their life. And i guess September->Now isn't bad use, and they've still got some time in them yet.

anybody heard or have any comments on quickfit? i drove past their phillip shop the other day, and they stock some nice rims and good rubber. plenty of cars going around with the quickfit sticker, anybody?

[TomR33]

I've been to their Phillip shop for a wheel alignment and I was not impressed. They had no idea that R33 GTST Skyline has a stock rear camber adjustment, had to crawl under the car and show them with a finger.

Their quotes for tyres were about $40 per tyre more than what I got from Yokohama at Fyshwick.

I asked a place in Phillip to do a Quick wheel balance and after I experienced some problems following the purchase of new tyres in Sydney. The balance made no difference. Upon closer inspection I found that the hub ball locators were missing. When I called the shop to tell tell them this was the problem, their reponse was 'yeah, that'll do it'. GREAT! I'm not going back.

There are a lot of +ve comments about Hankook Ventus K104 tyres on the suspension and handling forum if anyone is interested.

I asked a place in Phillip to do a Quick wheel balance after I experienced some problems. Strangely it made no difference. I told them not to test drive the car when they were finished. They did.

Later I found that the hub ball locators were missing. When I called the shop to tell them, their reponse was 'yeah, that'll do it'. GREAT!

I'm not going back.

I ended up getting pirelli P-zero's at 650 a corner compared to canberra prices of 890 a corner. Great tyres though, VERY sticky.
