h4nd Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Pretty easy to do, given there's apparently only 4 of them. Maybe their internet spanner was goofing off browsing OldSchool that day, and didn't notice the gap in torque results 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87creepin Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I’ve got about three good Bridgestone potenza tyres, two re003 and one s001 that were on a car I crashed in 2017 and less than 1,000km old. now cos they were made in 2016, appear To be in good condition, have always been stored undercover, would they still be okay to use? If not will just use for 11s or in my case 1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'd use them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The rubber itself is probably going to have garbage grip by now. I wouldn't, but you could always have them inspected at a tyre shop and see what they say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustHarry Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Just now, JustHarry said: Plenty if tyres in the road older that 8 years Even better if there been stored in the dark I took a set of worn re003 off my e39 wagon that were fitted in 2012. They were just as grippy as the new ones 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I had some 15 year old Kelly budgets on my RS legacy that was rwd, make for fun commutes. i have the re003’s on my Hiace, massive overkill running 245s, theyr super sticky. hard to see how these could harden given the compound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Cheers guys. I know tyres are a contentious topic and the net is full of bad info. Mainly Americans and their crazy problems. I read an article blaming Paul Walkers death on the 6 year old hi-spec Michelins that his Porsche came with brand new before wondering and asking. OS is a pretty good place for getting info.

cletus Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I dunno why but tyres in the US seem to suffer from perishing /dry rot worse than other places? Maybe in non rainy areas they keep the cars outside more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in non rainy areas they keep the cars outside more I think they just are good at having problems. I once joined an American Honda prelude forum. Pages of the tech section were people trying to work out timing/misfire issues on their 300,000 mile cars without any basic understanding of checking stuff like plug leads and loose battery terminals. “Load up the parts cannon and fire away” 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87creepin Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 If one were to purchase “street-friendly” semi slicks like the advan ad08r, wouldn’t their grip be quite bad because semi slicks are supposed to be warmed up and then they perform well? and they last for a few heat cycles right?

shizzl Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 When I took my Hunter for a cert, it was pinged on too much camber ever after an alignment. it now sits at 1• neg. following this thing made me cringe at the camber of the front, rear suspension looks static. also, just flap disc it and send it bruh Is rather cool but I’d paint it atleast 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
