Mike B Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have these two rears, ideally for a 10" dish, Long story, but I changed wheels and these would not fit on my old car before I sold it because it did not have rolled arches... so now I need to sell them.. and they are not that worn at all.. Thought someone on here would have use for them before they go on fleabay. Looking for around £75 a tyre..? carriage 15 quid to sensible UK address.. 18" Mitchelin Pilot Sport x 2... 295/35 ZR18 - remember you will need rolled arches for these on most supra rims...

RobSheffield Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Good tyres though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Have you used these? - I'm all set to buy another set of gds3's but I do think they wear fast - especially on track days.. these were Terry S's choice, so maybe I should try a set... he didn't hang around on the track!

I went from slippy yoko AVS sports, to a set of these - the increased confidence it gave me was phenominal Mine is on 19s though, so these on 18s will be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_controller Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 have you gauged the tread left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 As a guide you can see the wear indicators in between the tread, that is the 1.6mm mark from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 The last pic shows as much detail as I have in real life. There is more meat in the middle - the edges always wear more, but from my limited experience I'd say 65-70% of the orginal tread left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 try some semi slicks, they are excellent in the dry and ok in the wet , just use your van on wet days mike . if you want to have a try , you can borrow my wheels for a couple of days.

Mike B Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 try some semi slicks, would you like them back with or without big tufts of grass wedged between the rim and tyre? lol I was thinking about it tbh... I drive the van a lot when I have access to it 100%, but still use the car for long journies and have had some aquaplaning moments on gds3's, so semis will have to wait until I find a set of nice 18" rims on here going cheap, for trackdays. Thanks for the offer though - you are brave after seeing what I did to the Blue supra on the shopping run at this time of year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 You got a point there ..... forget i mentioned it .... were did you get the roll cage from , can you still use the back seats ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 The cage I got off ebay - when I first bought the silver car, after the infamous incident. 400 notes in the end, after a bit of a bidding war, then re-covered it in alcantera. Weights a ton. easy to fit, and can get in the back no problems. It limits you getting in the front though, as it chops off leg access when you swing your leg in/out. Big tall chap like you will have to warm up with some stretches first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
