What do they usually cost on average? I'd almost be inclined to needle them for another $10 off each tyre, and not have them fitted. That way I'd have them around when I need them. And they only give you the gay Bronze balance (WTF? It's balanced or it isn't!) for that price.

I should actually check how much life is left in my tyres...

Isn't our stock size, 205/55/16? My front lip would drag on everything if the tyres were any smaller!

195,55,16

going to 205,50,16, is cheaper way to stay in lift than a power fc.

Even with 205/50/16 you still fall short of landing lift in second.

Redline would need to be set to about 9000rpm to land about 6000rpm.

you certain of that superdave?

i was reading some old posts by mr22zz, and the result was that 205,50 was the way to go if you wanted land lift and post good quarter time.

how much difference does it make?

if it doesn't make much, stuff it, i'll go 205,55, as i think I'd rather have slightly lower revs on the freeway.

Quick question thanks

Bronze balance?

A standard balance? as opposed to a, what balance?

Exactly!

A standard balance is a bronze balance, ie: not quite balanced.

Then you have a silver and gold balance. Gold is actually balanced...

They justify the differences by the method in which they do the balance. :wacko:

hows the ER300 like then? :)

well i posted this up not to say its dirt cheap or whatever but i believe people are paying roughly 200 dollar a corner for the re001 so this might be a good deal for anyone that is after some of the re001 in that particular size..

its not a deal for everyone and i dont expect it to be anyway..

ER300 is an economy tyre isn't it? Sportivos came with the ER030 which were sh!thouse..

205,55, i wouldn't go there gav

i was bitterly disappointed, i was after 205.50s

whitestivo

205/55/16 is the factory size for the ZRE

as to price Bridgestone dealers (but you have to shop around) were doing Adrenalins in that size for $179 fitted and balanced less $5 per tyre if you are an NRMA member

thanks for the info, i have some 205, 55's going onto the stivo today (184 per tyre) so looking forward to pick up this afternoon.

I ended up running 205.55 as on lowered springs I can do with the extra comfort, slightly lower revs on the freeway, and really no chance landing in lift.

too many ppl said the maxxis ipro just wasn't in the same ballpark as the re001, and with just about everyone raving about them, well i'm going to try them out as well. and I looked at a lot of reviews.

i'll let everyone know the results once it stops raining.

no chance

you can wait until july, or possibly september, when the tires are well scrubbed in, i'll head back to the track and see if i can lower my time further. not to mention I'm looking forward to drubbing your laser.

got to put at least 3000km on them first before i go back, to really get them bedded in, that's 3 months

one of evo's wheel had a heavy spot, what the hell does that mean anyway? they fixed it with weights.

Not everything is perfect. It just means that would have been the slightest amount of extra weight on part of the rim if you were to balance it in the dead centre. If it's enough, you would notice it as vibration when your wheels are spinning at higher speeds.

Tyres can also be unbalanced too.

no vibration, no worries

definitely a bigger tyre, fills up guards nicely. feels much softer on road then old tyres, despite 36psi in them

can't tell performance as roads are dreadful

I must have these! Remember that new tyres will take a while to polish off the coating and bed in, be careful.

I find that lots of wheel spin does the trick ;)

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
