Hi All,

I am currently searching for tyres to go with my rims and after looking high and low and hours n hours on the web i thought i will be really nice :P :P and post my findings for anyone who might be interested.

Ok i am after 215/40/17 which meet or exceed the standard rating of 87V as i dont want any insurance issues... mind u along the way i found many many many tyres in this size which did not meet the rating so all i say is use any of those at ur own risk.

Ok i have done my research for this tyre size and rating based on 16 tyre manufacturors which supply to Australia so i think its pretty comprehensive but if i missed any manufacturors i wouldnt mind knowing.

Ok here's my findings

Bridgestone, Firestone, Pirelli and Goodyear dont make tyres to meet what is required.

Kelly Tyres and Cooper Tyres from what i could find only make 4x4 tyres.

Olympic tyres i couldnt find any info on their products anywhere.

Now to the ones that did make a tyre with 215/40/17 and rating 87V or better:

Manufacturer - Model - Approx price per tyre - Rating

Michelin - Pilot Preceda - $380+ - 87V

Dunlop - SP Sport 8000E - $??? - 87Y

Falken - Ziex ZE512 - $175 to $190 - 87W

Falken - GRB 451 - $??? - 87? (note these also come in a 84 speed rating)

Kumho - Ecsto KU21 - $??? - 87W

Hankook - Ventus K102 - $??? - 87W (the XL version)

Hankook - Ventus Sport K104 - $175 to $190 - 87Y

Toyo - Proxes T1-R - $??? - 87W

Toyo - Proxes T1-S - $??? - 87W (note these are being replaced by T1-R)

Toyo - Tranpath SW - $??? - 87W

Yokohama - A539 - $??? - 87W (note apparently these arent made anymore)

GT Radial - Champrio HPZ 40 - $??? - 87W

GT Radial - Champrio 328 - $??? - 87W

Continental - Sport Contact - $??? - 87Z

Continental - Sport Contact XL - $??? - 87Z

Continental - Sport Contact 2 XL - $??? - 87Y

cheers

Bill, the Yokohama A539 has bee replaced by the C. Drive and they don't come in 40series rubber. You can go 215/45ZR17 91W rating though and probably cost you $260 each tyre from BobJane.

I obviously didn't go back there!!!

Zee - I can confirm that is the price Bob Jane quoted me, no wonder you stuck with 16's. <_<

:D Yeh Dylan, mine are $200 a corner still not cheap compared to the wheels at $130 each :huh: but i love the tyres expecially now that the protective coating is coming off slowly, the C.drives grip! In the wet too especially with the rainfall we are getting recently. The protective coating explains why i was spinning up tyres in 1st and 3rd gear last week when i raced a FC RX7 :blink:

The only problem i can see though by getting the 215/45/17 is that i have been advised by many members that these will scrub if the car is dropped which is why i am not going down this path....

I am also compiling a list of 205/45/17 which are closer to keeping the speedo in line than the 215/40/17.

Will post once done.

cheers

I got some of these Fulda's on Friday. Great tyre. On special at the moment at Bob Janes for like $209 or something, but I got them for around $30 each cheaper than that (it's who you know)...

Must say, so far I love them. Handling is fantastic.

      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!!! :)
