EOI- RE55 Group buy

[BOMI]

In another thread we were talking about the price of RE55's and if we could get a group buy discount.

So anyway I thought Id start a list and see how any numbers we get.

The list

[CV860L]

The list

1. Bomi
2. CV8005

[35R]

I'll take a set Troy! but i doubt the savings would be there. You might save perhaps $10/tyre through Kym Davis. If you can get a deal though, count me in.

[BOMI]

The list


Bomi
CV8005
LSX-4XX

[NickS]

If you can get a significant discount I'll grab a set ... if it's less than $25 a tyre I'll just get some when I need them next.

Dunc, love the Avatar ... Aerial Atom :bravo:

[lautray]

I may be interested in a pair of WT's.

17's aren't much cheaper from memory, maybe $20~$30 a tyre

[lautray]

is everyone getting the same size? i have a mate that does Bridgestone Motorsport tyres. if you let me know sizes i can get a price.

Pretty sure there is a mix of 17/18" & 225-245 in the footprint.

[35R]

wow that would be awesome

I'd be after a PAIR of either 235/45/17 WT or 245/40/18 WT only, not SR. Not sure which size yet, but they will be WT regardless. These are for drags, not circuit.

[Stelth]

18's for me too

225/245

[35R]

some time ago i looked into importing these myself; from memory they dont sell them in the States (pity given the exhange rate).

Maybe we could get some from Japan?

[waylow]

I know a guy who imports them from Japan. Give me the sizes for everyone and I will send him a message today.

that would be great if you could try!

245/40/18
225/40/18

and something with similar profile in 17's if they have them

[NickS]

that would be great if you could try!

245/40/18
225/40/18

times two ... :yep:

[waylow]

So you want pricing for about 8 sets in those sizes?

[highlander_69r]

out of interest what are they like as far as the strip is concerned? Or am i better of with just buying et streets?

[lautray]

out of interest what are they like as far as the strip is concerned? Or am i better of with just buying et streets?

WT compound for the drags :yep:. Probably the best "street" tyre after ET Streets. The heavy hitters used to get 1.6x 60' on WT RE55's.

[Pulse Red]

Can I ask how long these can sit for after their first use before they go bad?

[35R]

So you want pricing for about 8 sets in those sizes?

Yes please, but if there are advantages in buying more sets (bigger discount) then i will buy more for sure.

[BOMI]

The list :yep:

1. Bomi - 235/45/17 x 4 SR

Thats OK mate we have got onto an insane price which I will post up either tonight or tomorrow :yep:


Troy :)

[mick]

when you guys get prices can you let me know im undecided if i want them yet. street tyres still going ok.

[BOMI]

when you guys get prices can you let me know im undecided if i want them yet. street tyres still going ok.

Depending on rim size Mick they are not very much more then a street tyre :bravo:


Troy :D

[OZY 260]

Troy could you please inform me of prices aswell if possible, looking at 245/40/18.
How do these tyres go in any kind of wet weather? Are they a bit dangerous on the open road?

Thanx brett

[mick]

The size i would nead are 245/45/18 are these tyres better for drags or circuit does anyone know ?

[35R]

The size i would nead are 245/45/18 are these tyres better for drags or circuit does anyone know ?

Mick there are generally two compounds of these RE55 tyres available; SR and WT. The SR are the ones we all use for circuit and they are the ducks guts. They will probably last you about 4 track days (assuming say 50+ laps per day). The WT are softer and generally used for drag racing only, however you can still use the SR for drag racing at a pinch (they are probably better than any regular street tyre anyway). If you are looking for a dedicated drag racing tyre, personally i would go with a Mickey Thompson, even in 16 or 17" if you have to. However if you want something that will fit over your brakes in 18" which can be used for circuit _and_ drag racing, perhaps go for the SR RE55 with some dedicated track rims. I wouldnt run the RE55 on the street full time btw (they get really noisy after a decent track day).

[mick]

Are they classed as a slick tyre or just a good street tyre is the grip really much better than a good street tyre?

[mick]

cant decide i kind of like the fact that i can say the times im pulling are on street tyres.

[35R]

Are they classed as a slick tyre or just a good street tyre is the grip really much better than a good street tyre?

they are a semi-click, technically RE55 is legal for the road apparently.

The grip is heaps better than a road tyre, no road tyre compares believe me. Erik, Troy any myself picked up about 2~3 seconds around Wakefield, which speaks for itself. Not only outright grip, but the way in which these tyres hold onto the tarmac whilst losing traction, they dont just suddenly let go like a street tyre will; a good semi-slick will retain traction when whilst the tyre is spinning across the bad camber fish-hook, spinning tyres whilst tryig to change gears from 2nd to 3rd!

[35R]

cant decide i kind of like the fact that i can say the times im pulling are on street tyres.

Mick you have another tenth or two to come with the road tyres at the strip, keep at it.

[mick]

they sound good and i could loose a few seconds of my shittty wakefield times. just confused cause i thought a drag tyre would have soft side walls when circuit tyres would be harder i dunno but when you guys get prices would love to know and if the wife lets me i may get some thanks.

[mick]

i would have to keap trying on streets for a while longer just sounds better when i say time was done on street tyres.

[waylow]

Can I just get a price on 4x195/60/14 SR please :D

[BOMI]

Here are the prices guys and as you can see its a big saving.

225/40/18 x 1 set $345.00 per tyre (inc tax) Only in SR compound .

[BOMI]

is this a 1 off thing or can we get them in a couple of months ?

Stand by on that one Mick.

I would think a one off and maybe the thing to do is give a cut off date for payment.

Just give it a few days mate :yep:

If you shrink wrap [or glad wrap ] the tread face between use theres no problem with storing them.

Store out of direct sunlight & out of the weather.

Fair enough. But that didn't answer the logistical part of my query :D. What I meant was will the order be freighted to one central location or to each person? I would presume the latter?

[waylow]

195/60/14 Only in SR compound. $235.00 per tyre (inc tax)





Fark!!!! Thanks for getting the price but I think I'll stick with R888's, about $180 a tire!

[fatas]

happy to pick these up for you guys :yep:
with my ute and 8x5 box trailer and take them to sonnys or wsid or central spot try to get them straight out of bridgestones central store at narellan just over my back fence and bingo tyres for all :yep:a carton is all it takes.:waving:

Troy :)

[NickS]

Bomi, thanks for getting the prices but you can scratch me from the list for now.

At the rate I'm going the tyres I have will last a few years and it really seems to make no sense to buy another set (that will just sit in the garage) because they are a bit cheaper.

Sorry mate.

Also Bomi can I confirm that the two 245s I am interested in are available in the WT compound or is it just the SR compound?

The price looks good but i would need to know the manufacturing date.

There should be an oval in print on the sidewall with 4 numbers.

The first 2 numbers represents the week and the last 2 numbers is the year

Can you confirm the date the tires where made please?

I know that all is sweet but just need peace of mind.

Youre not kidding are you!

Mate I dont know the date as the tyres are in Japan, so if that's not an indication of their newness I dont know what is :lmao:

This deal is from THE importer of RE55's.

John (PSI38L) if you can elaborate on the date issue please do.


Troy :cheers:

[Stelth]

Oh . . I thought that the tires where in the country already.

If John knows and has done business with the importer before then all should be good.

Sorry it's just that there are alot of cheap new tires going around at the moment.

Most of these cheap tires are grey parallel import of old stock that has expired.

The importers are getting them almost for nothing and selling them in Australia at a big discount.

I have been caught out before.

But I'm sure that's not the case here.

am i to late to get a set 245 / 40 / 18 if not put me down for 4 please

[choppo]

OK, ive decided on 18's, with 245 rear..... just trying to decide on front.... im running 245 Nittos on the front now with rolled front guards. Someone metioned these tyres are bigger that street tyres?? I certainly dont have any room to spare on the front. Should i go with 225 fronts?? Any help appreciated, particularly does anyone run a VX-VZ with holden 18" stock rims with rolled guards and 245 fronts??

The biggest problem with the 245 fronts is that it doesn't leave you any room to dial in camber for the track, you then end up with stuffed outer edges and the tyres don't last as long as they should.

Dunc & Erik have extensively tested the 225 / 245 combination and it seems to give the best balance / rear grip / camber adjustment combination. I would go with that, it's your best bet at this stage.

I have brand new 225s and 245s on factory Holden VZ SS rims ... if you are really keen you are free to come over to my place and stick each on the front to see how much room you have ??? Happy to lend a hand if it makes you more relaxed about the decision.

:cheers:

[BOMI]

there will be no issues with the tyres. we have been dealing with this guy for a long time.


Thanks John, I thought as much :yep: :cheers:

[BOMI]

OK CLOSED NO MORE TYRES


From here, once Choppo's $$$$$ show up the order will placed and I will advise on time place for delivery etc!!

Thanks for your patience fellas.


Troy :)

[oztrack]

If any more 245/40 x 18s are spare. I may be interested in 2. I had some a few year ago. How long do they last on the road? and how noisy do people find them. They certainly gripped well wet and dry. Is the SR the harder compound they are offered in?

[35R]

[PSI38L]

ok....I have just been told that Bridgestone have new stock of the 245's. there is bad news though. they have gone up in price. the price is $400.00 each inc.

I apoligise but out of my control sorry. please let me know what you want to do.

John,

So the price has gone up $40 per 245 is that right? (old price $360). presumably the price of the 225's is the same?

[CV860L]

I don't want to be a pain in the arse but I would prefer my money be returned.
I currently have two privately owned cars and one company car which are all due for new tyres.
I know it's only $160 extra but I was looking to re-sell the tyres anyway due to my situation.
If I can get the $1440 returned it would be greatly appreciated.

[NickS]

It seems that those that have ordered the 245s might be able to pull out and get all the money back ... 225s are done and dusted so there are no refunds there.

Jake & Mick, you both wanted 4 x 245, so at this stage I think we can get your money back to you ... but I need John to confirm this first.

[Stelth]

I will deposit another $80 in to the TrackChat account.

Thanks

[NickS]

I will deposit another $80 in to the TrackChat account.

Thanks

Thanks mate ... I have paid for 6 of the 245s today, Duncs, yours & mine (I'm taking choppos). The money will be in the Bridgestone Tyre Centre account today as we are both NAB, hopefully John will have the tyres pretty soon.

The other guys, once I get confirmation that we don't need to take the 245s I'll get your money back to you ASAP. Bomi ... no idea what the story is with your tyres, they haven't been mentioned yet ???

:confused:

[Stelth]

I have transfered the extra cash.

I can pick up from anywhere in Sydney.

Is there any word on whether or not we can get our money back on these 245 tyres?

Hey Guys

This is an old thread now but i have a problem.

The RE55's have been sitting around all this time until now cause of other mechanical problems.

I am finally going to take the car to a track day tomorrow and have discovered that i have 2 rear rights instead of a right and left.

It is a 245/40/18.

I suspect that most people have used there sets but if there is someone out there that still has a set siting around like me , can you check that you have all the correct corners.

In should be outside right and outside left.

I had a mix up initial with Nick so i am thinking that he may have the other tire.

If i can't sort it out today , i will run the left rear backwards to keep the outside shoulder on the outside and hope for the best.

cheers

Doesn't matter what direction you run them... The direction is only for water dispersion. In the dry will be fine.

Hey Guys

This is an old thread now but i have a problem.

The RE55's have been sitting around all this time until now cause of other mechanical problems.

I am finally going to take the car to a track day tomorrow and have discovered that i have 2 rear rights instead of a right and left.

It is a 245/40/18.

I suspect that most people have used there sets but if there is someone out there that still has a set siting around like me , can you check that you have all the correct corners.

In should be outside right and outside left.

I had a mix up initial with Nick so i am thinking that he may have the other tire.

If i can't sort it out today , i will run the left rear backwards to keep the outside shoulder on the outside and hope for the best.

cheers

John

Sorry Johnny ... I'm in Bathurst mate, tyres are at home. They have been used on 4 different cars since I bought them and no one has noticed anything, so I think they are fine ??? Can't check until next week though ...

All is good mate,

I will run the left side backwards, no problem according to the boys.

I wrote this post and rushed out the door to get to wholesale suspension for a tune up and had Luke keep an eye on the responses.

I spent most of the day there testing and tuning my suspension and at times i must of seemed like a bit of a pest.

A very big thanks goes to Luke , Chris, Jimmy and all the boys over there for great service and knowledge and also for the -2.5 camber with the RE55"s !

Also thanks guys for the quick responses regarding my post.

Cheers

All good John! Thanks for coming down today for a chat. Lots of fiddling and fine-tuning but all is good :)

Let us know how you go today.

Good Luck John,
Hope the setups work....and remember the closer you are to the wall coming onto the straight the less damage you will do if you hit it!
Enjoy!
