Hey I need new tyres and my camber is out so the tyres are wearing massively on the inside shoulder, where does everyone go to get their tyres replaced and get alignments done (SOR). I have just been to tyre power in canningvale on bannister road and they said that they get SAU people in there all the time.

They also gave me pricesas follows:

235/40 R18

Silverstone EVO8 $185

Federal $199

TOYO TPG $264

and the wheel alignment front/rear for $49

I wont been needing toyo tyres because I dont race my skyline or drift etc. Something a little cheaper for me, has anyone tried those EVO8s or does anyone know if they are good tyres? Yes I hammer my car occasionally, it's a skyline who wouldnt.

Any help is appreciated and I couldnt find anything in seach so if there is a page with a list of places where SAU members go then let me know, didnt see any tyre places there.

I am also in the same predicament with my toyo trampio tpgs wearing on the inside shoulder (was in busselton yesterday and noticed that I could see the radial - not good!!)

I'm probably going to go for the trampios again, these have lasted me around 18 months or thereabouts and I've had no real problems with them.

You may want to invest in a camber kit to fix this problem once and for all. I'm going to, and the cost is something like $130 for the rear and $160 for the front (check with wilkinsons).

Paul @ tyrepower in cannington is a great guy to deal with.

Jason.

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
