Can anyone recommend a tyre shop to sell me a set of Street legal race tyres?

My V35 is being complied in Brisbane now so I thought fitting a set of these tyres would be better than a cheap compliance set that I'll never use. At least I'll then have a set of track tyres for later.

I'm in Perth so so local knowledge would be great if someone can help.

Hehe, this is the Queensland section, dude :(

The car is in Brisbane at the moment getting complied, but he lives in Perth :(

So he needs local Brisbane knowledge

Try Tyretech at Albion or there is another place accross the road from Suncorp staduim that does street and race cars. I think it is called Mark Williams Automotive?

Just got off the phone to Ian Boettcher Motors (3282 2722) (im after a set too) and they said youd be looking at roughly $500 a tyre.

Bridgestone RE070 he can do for $330

Top Yokohama for $540

Seeing as though your in Perth, i could arrange to get ur tyres to your compliance shop, if you want.

Also i'd give consideration to all the stuff that is happening on the docks as all the containers cannot be accessed so there may be a wait for your tyres.

what sorta size are you after?

There's a new chain of tyre shops opening up up here at the moment called "Tyres and More" that seem to do a bit of motorsport related tyres... Mind you, they were rather exxy (i think they wanted like $360/tyre for RE55's in 205/55/16)

how about semi-slick tyres as close to race tyres while still being legal

That is the sort of tyre I was hoping to get as long as it was DOT approved.

I haven't seen my car in person yet but I think they run

225/45-18s front and 245/45-18s rear but it depends on what the tyre placard the compliance shop fits says

That's confirmed as far as sizing goes.

At present I would be happy just to source a good set of road tyres at the right price .

Cheers

      What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
