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...

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

whitestivo

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

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
