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.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
