Please, with the 225 you'll be squeezing them on and getting some extra sidewall flex.

Ok.

Well how much do you reckon it'd cost me to get one of you guys to buy 4 for me and send them up to sydney in a nice little package with a cute bow

I'm 99.9% percent sure you will be able to get Highway max tyres in Sydney. It says on the website "Besides distributing product throughout Australia we also export our remoulds and retreads to Southern Asia and the Pacific Islands"

I live 400ks from Melbourne and I can get them from any tyre shop around here (they order them for me), just give them a call and ask where you get them in Sydney

Well, I'll have a look around.

But after some thought, dad's been running the Pirelli Centura P6s on his work car after they stopped producing the P6000s, and honestly, they seem to stick like **** to a blanket.

Well buy those then , Me Morton and Luke can keep Highway tyres in buisness

 

[SweetWagon]

Hmmm my rear tyres are wearing low, might need some of these for some future 0-60 testing

hey mate, i have (or had) p6000's too, didnt they replace them with p6's? One one set of my wheels i've got p6000's and p6's.

Well buy those then , Me Morton and Luke can keep Highway tyres in buisness

I will try the Highway Maxes one day...but for now, my cars now making ludicrous amounts of power, so I'm sure the P6s should be up to the task

If you want a talk on Highway Max Tyres from a person running ludicrous amounts of power, talk to VN_Luke

 

[crazybiker]

Oh yes, because our cars our VERY similar

360Rwkw compared to like 110rwkw

oh dear... you crazy bastards are flogging the arse off your cars on RETREADS?? are you familiar with the aspects of TREAD SEPARATION?? not a pleasurable experience at speed i assure you, also kiss your paintwork (or your whole car) goodbye when they do peel off. fair enuff if your just going to the shops and back in your datto 120Y but why the hell would wou risk it on your pride and joys?? and before i get a heap of responses saying "yada yada ive run retreads on all my cars and never had a problem" youre just lucky.
Ive been in the tyre industry longer than i care to remember now and have seen more than my fair share of shitty retreads letting go, and dont be fooled by the pretty sidewall stamping on remoulds, there still just as **** and priced slightly higher. my work wont even deal in retreads except for trucks. (and yeah there just as dodgy)

for under $100 per corner you can get yourself a decent set of Kuhmos in 15inch. getting twice the life as you would from a retread and being a silica compound they grip like hell

They are REMOULDS and I've seen heaps of pairs of them at 220km/h in burnout comps while almost on fire and they seperate at the exact same time as normal tires, they are strong enough for me, strong enough for anyone. Luke had them at the drags the other day with 120mph terminal speed in a 350 rwkw car and they were spot on, we've all been abusing them for years and never had a single tyre fail. When you can show me a failed highway max I'll pay attention *slightly* but you wont be able to
