james333 Member 91 Member For: 13y 9m 12d Gender: Not Telling Posted 21/05/11 05:34 AM Author Share Posted 21/05/11 05:34 AM ended up getting at set @ $220 each.Have been on for a week,slippery the first 5km but all good now. They have a bit of road noise aswell.(dont all tyres)Iam happy so far.my stock fg f6 just done a 12.702/115.27mph on the new tyres.Try to stall it up,just span.Driving it of the line was the way to go. So the tyres are not to bad on the stock power on the strip too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member 1,008 Member For: 14y 10m 11d Gender: Male Posted 21/05/11 06:12 AM Share Posted 21/05/11 06:12 AM I did a 12.39 on them tyres @ 121 mph, and I don't have an LSD....No launch and still span, they lasted one trip to the drags, the rears were shagged afterwards completely bald, did too many big skids... The stock tyres that everyone bags out have been the best street tyres I've used on the strip so far to be honest... The gap made dunlops that is.

Member 1,008 Member For: 14y 10m 11d Gender: Male Posted 23/05/11 11:09 AM Share Posted 23/05/11 11:09 AM Keep us posted which way you go I'm thinking I might invest in 2 tyres since they are reasonbly priced.310_FSX - I have also herd that the Goodyears are best by far right now with R001 coming 4th in a recent tyre study by Wheels. I have 2x 245/35/19 re001's done I dunno 2-3000km maybe most of that on the front lots of tread left, will be for sale thursday when the nt05's get fitted..Pickup from melbournes northern suburbsI'll also have 2x maxis z1's same deal if anyone is interested in cheap tyres..
