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?

What are you after? Like size, price etc.

As i have a contact here at work who'se husband runs his own small business and sells tyres at wolesale price. To give you an example, i got my Hankook K104 255x17x40 for $252 each

Give me a ring if you want 0403 477 372

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

Cheers

they run

225/45-18s front and 245/45-18s rear Cheers

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

    • 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?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
