I was the surprised the fronts held up so well, didn't feel like they were going to give up anytime soon

I was driving the car pretty hard as well, didn't really understeer anywhere. It just did what I wanted it to do :)

The nitto invos are a great tyre they put my 336rwkw to the ground nicely :)

Got my Hankook Z222 on the evo yesterday. They are not overly noisey and they didn't make the steering feel as twitchy as it felt with the dunlop SP MAXX that were on it and they did make my steering feel a lil heavier and made turn in a little more progressive.

Havent tested them out in the twisties yet though. Hopefully tonight :)

I gave the RSR's a good run again on the weekend, still not bad for the price! They obviously are cheap tyres but when you drive them at their limit they handle it well! Nice and quiet too...

yh true i have RSR 255/35/18 good in the wet can launch at 3500 with my few killerwasps and it grabs instantly.

This tyre test is interesting. It shows braking from 100km/h dry and wet.

Down the bottom there are some real shockers but the mid-range performers seem good value.

straight line braking in wet or dry is not a good indicator or lateral grip (corners) nor how they 'feel' or how they grip once traction has been broken and then in regaining traction...

Nonetheless, still meaningful statistics :)

Bridgestone potanzas re240s street slicks

Dry 10/10 once you get heat into them

Wet 3/10 just for normal driving

i rate these types 10/10 for price as im a true believer that you get what you pay for

"Potanza RE240s" ? Was wondering what these were. You might want to take another look at your tyre sidewall markings :)

Unless you're referring to the old Potenza RE540s (semi-comps, not slicks), which I believe are long discontinued?

I used Tirerack to get my Michelins due to the fact Michelin Australia cant be bothered bringing 265/35/18 into Australia

Once i sent my money i received my tyres in 5business days too my door!!!

Michelin Australia arnt bringing every size into the country, this is reflected on their website

Re: PSS

Ta Nick for feedback on this :)

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of posts on here lately.

I have Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec that i have had on my 33 for the past 18 months or so. I haven't really tried many tyres so i cannot really rate them outta 10 but I am well happy with them. I am glad I spent the $$ and bought some good tyres. Alot better than previous KU31.

I know a few others bought the same tyres from tirerack.com. Any other opinions on these tyres ?

Anyone got a hook up for Hankook RS3?

Want to run a 275 35 18 and RSR dont have that size... (Currently RSR all round but keen to give something else a shot!)

Best price I got was through jax tyres (believe it or not) Prospeed?? I think up the coast go through em a fair bit too give them a try Matt ;)

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • 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       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
