Have had them for 8 months daily driver. Making 180rwkw

255s on xxr18s. Good in wet good in dry. Minimal road noise. Excellent value for preformance. Please note these tyres feel like a much softer compound than what im used to does wear quite quickish. I don't do launches or punch it hard but I do a few kms in year. So yeah.

Not a tyre expert. Quite happy with them on the road. Esp with this heavy duty clutch in the rain :|

Any update on the momo tyres?

How many k's you've done on them?

Has the rubber changed? Hardened?

going by my first post, it's been over a year now with these up front. they have not hardened or developed any inconsistency.

not sure of kms. i'll guess at 8-10k.

still grippy. suprisingly not much wear, and wearing evenly.

i'm really pleased with the tyres. i highly recommend them.

i will be getting these again. there is nothing close in this price range, and probably nothing for double the price too.

Only st george tyres in rockdale sell the momos as its their brand with momo together... price is the same... ask for Sam and just tell him Daniel with the white r34 sent you and he'll fix you up a tad, good family friends...

Hi, I realize it's an old thread but.......I bought a full set of these shoes for my little rvr 18 months ago from a place in Brookvale. I've now travelled 30,000 with them, and have given them hell. I have a problem with my right foot, which triggers a problem with my left foot, but it only happens in cars. For the money, these are super sticky.

I'm about to go and get another set as I'm now 1mm from the wear indicators. They did go off a little bit after about 7000km's or so on the front, but I rotated them at 10000 km's.

I have found them faultless in wet / dry / hard braking / cornering. I even started trying to REALLY push and find where they would let go after the first 500 km's, simply because they gave me so much confidence, again no luck until I'd worn a fair bit of tread off them.

I run mine around 38-40 psi with 205/50 r17's, but man they have made my bus stick through any corner I've thrown at it.

I've had expensive tyres on many cars over the years, although this is my first awd car. I actually bought it as a bit of a laugh for taking dogs to the beach and back, but then once I got to know it with the momo outrun m3's, I just love to take it out and give the rex's etc a shock whenever possible.

Go the Momo's, you won't be disappointed. :yes:

+1 here as well

Had these Tyres on my GTR for the last 6 months.

Grip good dry and wet, no complaints.

I would easily recommend them to anyone reading this because you will not get better money for value. 100%

I drive on them daily on my wagon, they are a bit noisy (expected from a $75-80 tyre). I'll be spending a bit more next time on quiet.

Tread life is great though, mine look almost new and it's been a bit over a year since I got them. Grip is decent, although since my tyres are oversized, they roll a bit more and the front end looses grip under acceleration while turning (e.g. turning onto a motorway on-ramp, Subaru Liberty turbo).

Where do you get them for that price? What size?

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
