You sure thats the price? Thats the price I see without shipping. Make sure you enter your zip AND select the state for the shipping to show.

haha definitely love!

Our dollar is really strong at the moment, yet the savings of the exchange rate often arent passed back down to the consumer. Its actually cheaper to buy the tires in the US and ship them on a plane to here than it is to buy locally. Unfortunately, a few Aus distributers have realised this and have complained to big dealers like tirerack etc. So now they arent allowed to ship internationally. Fail.

But yea, great tire

really wish Falken didnt kill off the ST115...those tires were amazing.. especially in the wet.. and in a country where heavy rains are a common occurrence... (we actually just had a flash flood 2 days ago lol) they could really come in handy....they were seriously the best tires ive used in the wet. and they werent slacking in the dry either...wears out pretty fast though..hehehe

RT615 is ridiculously priced here... just like the AD08... its actually ALOT cheaper to just buy semi slicks...sheesh

oh and anyone has any experience with Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1??

Indeed they do. Although it would be pretty silly to choose to use the RSRs in open class with the number of R-compound tires available.

They are a popular tire in the club sprint class though.

Speaking of World Time Attack, Ive booked my accommodation for the event a few weeks ago, after last year its something that cannot be missed. I guess having the event in Sydney is a alright compromise for having to pay $$ for tires haha

the housings themselves shouldn't affect the wiring of your taillights. Check the bulbs or swap over your stock wiring if you haven't.

We all know our dollar isn't strong right now.... That sucks about the tire situation and that the local distributors are basically monopolizing the market out there...

Mine are 16x7. The sidewall is way too short and the tires have a tiny bit of stretch and it drives me crazy. I got the tires brand new for $300 installed, so I couldn't complain too much about the size being 5mm off...

Exactly. You can kinda see the mini stretch on the bottom of the tire in this picture.

Is it stretched that much because it's a 40? Would it be stretched less if it was a 45?
