Tyres

[F6 UTE]

Looks like I'm going for Toyo Trampio TPG. A step down from the flagship T1-R's. Still only $290 a corner. Cheap, and at worst, I'll change them in 3 months....

I have read a few reviews on the Kuhmo KU-19 and whislt good for V6 commos, won't hold 300rwkw to the tarmac.

I would go Eagle F1 maybe... still might yet.

I'm using Hankook Ventus K104s. 265/35/18s on the rear. Can't remember exact price, but a little over $300 each I think. 245/40s on the front $280ish?

Good straight line grip. Better than my old 275 Toyos.

Wet weather, very confident with them. Silica compund to help with wet traction.

I recently did Sydney to the QLD border, pissing down the whole way. No drama when I needed to put the power down to overtake.

Cornering, great. A little 'squeely', but you have to really push them into a corner to slip em.

Stock Dunlops wouldn't come near them in any respect.

I rate them. I'll be using them again. Or I might try their new tyre they just released, though they look like they'll be exy. (Ventus R-S2 Z212)

Goodyear eagles GS-D3 rule in the wet, in the dry the new Michelin PS2 rule and are very good in the wet as are the cheaper precedas. However, the new Yokohama Advan V103 are supposedly brilliant and I can get a 235/40 18 for $360 each. Haven't heard how they go in the wet but at this level it'll be good. Alos heard good things about the new Hankook V107 which sits above the pretty good V104.

I will see how the dunlop sp9000 go when I get my typhoon.....if they are crap will probably change them to the pilot sports 2

I had Nitto Extremes 555r on the WRX, they were good in the dry and bad in the wt.

Falken st115's leave them for dead in all aspects.

Previously had Goodyear F1's before those, they were a good tyre as well.

I had 2 flat tyres in the T that were too worn to be repaired. As I am getting rid of the car in the next 2 week, I decided to put my drift/burnout tyres that I was given by a mate who upgraded them from a Audi. They are 215/45/17 Michellen Pilot Sports that are incredible.

Having had the dunlops on the car for its whole life, these narrower tyres stick better than the dunlops ever did and they have been through a 1/2 day of solid drifting, but still have 50% tread. They have slightly flaired tread pattern, but I will be ditching the dunlops off the F6 and putting the Michillin pilot sports on. I can also recommend their long life as I have never seen a tyre cop so much punnishment, yet still ask for more.

I only got 17's mate, it's why I'm not running the Pilot Sport2's 

In any case, $270 a corner.

Do you know how much they would be for 18's

February's edition of Motor magazine gives the Yokohama Advans a big rap but no prices.

6 speeed Manual Lightning T with extras.
