And am impressed with dry grip, but wet is atrocious. 4th gear roll ons spin up on stock power. Will slide with neutral throttle. And today I couldn't reach 80 km between mullaloo drive and craigie drive on marmion (about 200m)Gotta be careful on these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I was keen to find out more about them and possibly get a set... Have u got sway bars mate? If so What sizes? Does it just eliminate body roll? A bigger front sway bar is the single most cost effective mod you can do to a b series IMHO So, this rain, does not agree with my new tires :(Got nankang 265 rears (found a near new set cheap!)

They will let go in third with 3XXrwkw but they do need a bit of coaxing. Im also running 255/30/19 invo's on the front now as well. Very very happy with them but they need at least 40 to 42psi to perform properly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post some pics of a 255 on and 8.5" rim later on. For the price I would recommend the Invo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices not bad including delivery. Not sure if Ralph has a secret agent source?You might also like to check out the black wheel nuts thread by Taleb Tyres...lol.Josh the shocks\springs were about 1200 delivered I think for the whole lot! Pics of fitting them in my build thread if you are keen. Edited 19/04/13 04:58 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Moar Powar Babeh Lifetime Members 19,323 Member For: 19y 2m Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 19/04/13 05:25 AM Share Posted 19/04/13 05:25 AM Out of the last 4 pairs of tyres I have purchased 3 pairs have been less than 3 month old on arrival and 1 set was 3yrs old........Guess which ones where purchased from Ali @ Taleb Tyres and guess which ones I bought locally...?HINT: the tyres I got from Ali where NOT the 3yr old expired crap (they came from my local tyre shop)TL:DR...............?I get my tyres from Ali @ Taleb Tyres, he's very good to deal with and his prices are very sharp.I'd rather not share pricing as I've bought quite a bit from him and I like to think he looks after me on price and my ego will be bruised if this is not the case I'l get some pics of the 255 on the 8.5 and the 275 on the 9.5 later today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were FANTASTIC at cornering even when low on shoulder tread. Better than my usual KU31's either new or old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
