Hi guys....

Was looking at getting a wheel/tyre package from a local shop. Shot them an email asking what tyres they have in the package and the response was either 'Gallop' brand (all i can find on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/205-40-17-cheap-tyres-Gallop-/250640649896?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a5b58cea8) or a tyre (YS-618) without a brand name like this one (again on ebay, although another shop: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brand-New-205-45-17-YS618-QUALITY-LOW-PROFILE-TYRES-/230481047247?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35a9bdaecf).....

Anyone know of either of these tyres, as i havent heard of them.......

Im thinking maybe ill just grab the rims and source tyres elsewhere?

Cheers

Hey Luke

I have YS-618 (Yellow Sea(s)) on my wifes car (05 Rolla) 215/45/17

Jax Tyres told me they were rubbish and noisey but i personally have had no complaints .

Good in dry and Ok in Rain but i wont recommend them on a Sportivo or a car with too much grunt as it maybe a bit nasty when its raining.

So far the tire wear appears to be normal and we had it for just about a year now.

On my Sportivo i had Silverstones and they were like being on marbles when it rained , got Potenza Adrenalin and they kill just about any tire on the market. WET or DRY it doesnt leave the road.

Yeah I would get tyres elsewhere.... if you arent keen to pay heaps, then Khumo's are definately an excellent choice

Hey,

Yeah the wet weather is really what was bothering me, or rather what i was curious about...... The rolla has Maxxis on it atm and in the wet they are just shocking to the point i have one buckled rim from trying to turn right through a round about and the car went straight (at low speed too)...... also find myself sideways fairly often on random curves/corners.....

Might have to look into the Potenzas.... biggrin.gif

Cheers for the input guys smile.gif

i can also suggest you Khumo KU36 which i find really sticky.

i got them from tempe tyres, they seem to be the cheapest around if you are in Sydney.

they are probably more sticky in the dry then the potenza RE001, and have a good rating in the wet too.

They are pretty much compared up against the potenza RE01R but they aint as good as them :)

Not sure what size you are chasing Personally I would be looking at a Michelin Pilot Sporet 3 not sure bof the advantage to all the no name brands of tyres bight the bullet and spend the money you wont regret it.I also have twop cars running the Dunlop sport Max TT they are great.

You dont want your tires too sticky in Dry , will ruin the fuel economy if there is too much resistance.

The more grip in wet the better.

On the subject of Michelin Pilot Sport , had a set and loved it. Good all around performance and good rolling.

Was looking for 205/45/17....

Not too bothered about Dry grip..... more so wet performance, because the blardy thing slides about in the wet so easily "/

One thing i did notice was going from 195 up to 205 seemed to make an impact on fuel economy...... that and i have a lead foot at times :P

The Dunlop Sp300E fitted to the car from Toyota is one of the Best Gripping Silica based tyres.

I loved it when it was on the car , i ended upgrading to 17 rims because to replace the 195/60/15 were going to cost me $150 ($600 all up)so added another $250 got the look and the cheaper replacement options for future.

45 Profiles in 17 inch can scrub the inside of the rear guards and under the front bumper screw if going over bumps at speed or at load if the car has been lowered a few inches .

Just something to keep in mind as it starts eating the under fender plastic guard due to too much scrubbing.

      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!!! :)
