i would have thought a 215/40/18 would be better suited.. were readily available in Toyo Proxes and T1R's etc..

Do trees die of old age?

yes they can, but it depends on the species and climate fluctuations in its local environment as to its longevity, in theroy trees have the capacity to live forever provided it has favourable environmental conditions throughout the course of its 'life'

Plenty of 215 35 18s around. I think that's what's on mine. I think the legacy has 215 40 18s and are slightly harder to find.

"they" you mean Bazza ex Wellington Rep : is to do with the forum permissions set up by admin/secretary

primary "group" for Bazza is set to "Wellington Member" hence not green stars like the rest of the paid members

like mine says MOD also no green stars

215/45/17 diameter is 62.53cm, diameter of 215/40/18 is 62.92cm..

its the comparible size you want. 35/18 is to small.

Just checked. Both are correct sizes for my cars as above.

The 40/18s are a pain and only really the cheaper brands have them unless you goto Continental or something.

I think I paid $155 a tyre fitted.

yeah sorry, ment to say 40 not 45.

i was quoted 1300 for a set of T1Rs, and aparently they dont even make them any more, they changed the outside sholder to make them wear better so now theyre T1_ (cant remember)

the old versions might have been T1S? damn it, they tyre guy told me all this yesterday and I forgot.

Who did yu go thru Leith?

Ill have to find it. Was a wholesaler in Dunedin for the first two, then Blairs in Invercargill for the other two. Not the greatest tyres mind you but go ok in the wet and ok in the dry.

Its only the family car around town so it doesnt get hammered, goes to the day care, super market and the ice cream shop and thats it.

Two different brands but nearly identical tread pattern and exactly same ratings and size.

Adens tyres do them now also ive noticed

Thos nankangs will be ok. I had them on my Vtir Prelude and went pretty good.

why are flat peakers so gay? Do they only make kids in full retard these days?

I'm sure they said the same about our generation but I'm 100% sure our generation was nowhere near being that sh*t. And thats mostly 80's babies so says alot about the current sad state of things. I blame Apple. And edaboc.

OI! Its not the 80s babies! I was born in 86, and me and my mates are fine, it seems to be the 90s lot that are tards :P

EDIT: your post reminded me that I keep seeing these edaboc. stickers on cars. Seems its a bloody CLOTHES company! WTF, why would you want to advertise that on your car?

"Yea, man, look! My car shows I wear clothes AND eat food! Its fkn mean as bro........."

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
