LAST LONGER OR BETTER PERFORMANCE. YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE OR THE OTHER OR YOU HAVE TO COMPROMISE AND SIT IN THE MIDDLE.

Pretty sure the Falken 452 would perform better.

However, for some reason, I never liked Falkens, and this was reinforced when my Falken slicks punctured on me at the track.

The KU19's are quite an old tyre now for Kumho. Sucks the don’t make the newer and widely regarded as a better tyre the KU38 in your size (they only make them in 18 &19")

I'm currently running FK452's and have a fantastic run out of them, have tonnes of mechanical grip and resistant to aqua planning. i have got great life from them and they have been on a handful of cruises where there put through their paces plenty. All in all i would highly recommend them. i understand the support from Falken to their dealers is nothing short of crap! The tyre shop we use at work therefore i use too as they look after me were both Falken and Kumho and there over Falken. Love the product but hate the support so they favour the Kumhos now so i will probably go with KU38's i think for my next treads.

Arghhh really dont say that lol? which ones were you running? the KU38's are meant to be quieter then either KU31 and 19. Might stick with the FK452's yet then!

I'm using KU31...no complaints... .It actually performs quite well even in the wet

road noise? I actually enjoy it - its nice to listen to what your tyres are doing..

We run the KU23's on our Aurion and they are quiet enough for us. I run the KU31's on the Gen 3 and don't notice or care about noise in that.

      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!!! :)
