Hi

I want to keep the tyres that I imported my car with as they are in good condition etc, but im not sure if they have the correct Australian rating. The only markings I can see is a V4UY on the 255's on the rear and a V40L on the 235's on the front. As well all tyres have a really small circle symbol with a squiggly line going through it.

Also my tyres are all the same brand/version but these markings are only on the left side tyres and not on the right. Is that gonna be an issue?

Cheers,

Dane

EDIT: actually now that I look closer it might just be that the tyres are on the wrong way on the right hand side - so the markings are on the inside sidewall of the tyres.

At least 4 tread wear indicators,

The tyres fitted to a 15 year old car and the old ones off your SEVS car need a few things,

Tyres fitted comply with DOT or E mark specifications,

All tyres fitted to the vehicle of the same type of ‘Carcass’ construction,

Rims are marked according to ADR 24,

i changed my rears as they didn't have the markings.. in the end the tyres I bought didn't have the E-rating markers either, but they were sold locally.. lol.. engineer passed them without any fuss.  

but this was up in QLD

That scribbly circle is a j/s marking which I have been informed. has only recently been accepted as a valid tyre standard in Australia.

My car passed through inspection with Jap Tyres all round. No E or DOT mark to be seen. They have a JIS stamp and they deemed that suitable.

This is for WA so might vary from state to state.

hmm.. i dont think my slicks will make it thru tho :wassup:

JIS is Japanese Industry Standard and by itself is not sufficient to certify in Victoria for 15yo. Some tyres have a combination of JIS, DOT and or E marking. the latter 2 are the minimum requirement here in Vic.

Still others are ok if complied on the dotars site under manufacturer, so in the end - leave it to your engineer.

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
