I think the Federal 595rsr were 120 wear rated and still good after 3yrs (15000kms) which was a surprise.

And my mate might have the Nitto NT05 on his FG?

I got 2 Achilles ATR sport fitted to the rear today at Jacks Tyres, cost me $270 fitted and balanced. ( bloody bargain!)

Spoke to Dan there, he has a 300kw car that he uses same tyres and recommends them.

He also said that he had tried both the ATR sport and the ATR sport2 and said that he didn't notice any difference between the 2

I dropped into my local Jaxs tyres and picked up 4 Achilles ATR Sports yesterday for $540 ($135each).

Cheering, thanks for the tipoff Crashboy.

I got these on the weekend, they are fantastic in the dry with unbelievable grip

And for what Hankook call a semi slick tyre they are great in the wet, definitely on par with invo's when it's wet

275/35x18 cost me $225 each. They only have a treadwear rating of 200, so I know they will wear faster but I would rather grip on a softer tyre and replace them than have a hard tyre with no grip

Good choice mate. Did well in the recent MOTOR mag test too.

Hi guys, went for a great drive today. went through a tank of fuel, had a ball.

went up the Gillies HWY (263 fairly slow corners mostly on hot mix bitumen in only 19 Klm)

Had the window down listening to the turbo spool through the 4 inch intake, had a grin from ear to ear ( wife was looking at me a bit strange)

went down the palmerston HWY, wide open flowing corners.

Had lunch at paronella park then back home via bramston beach then Bruce HWY back to Cairns.

on the way back I noticed a vibration coming from the rear left, stopped and had a look (couldn't see nothing)

got back home safely but the vibration had got worse

then I took my passenger rear wheel off, and this is what I found

Nice cruise there mate, I also like the run from atherton down the rex range up the coast to innisfail then up the palmerston to home again

^^^what...holds 3rd or 4th gear only?

My goodyear EF1A2 in 265/35/18 only sometimes held top of 1st on stock tune (when new)

Na, they even hold 2nd no worries. If your gassing the tits off it in first you get what you deserve...

What are these tyres like with cornering as the tyre wall looks sloppy?

They are really not like that, I think it's just for the pic

Mine are 275's on 9.5 inch wheels and have a nice square side wall

And to answer the question they are fantastic in the corners
