VE SSV ute semi slicks size

What tyre pressures are you guys running ?

[Wonky]

I've just chewed through my second set of MT 265/40/18 ETII on the factory 8" rim.

Looking at possibly running M&H 275/45/18 next time.

Interesting thanks! How many passes do you reckon each set did and what sort of pressures were you running please? Big burnouts each time?

Haven't worked out how many runs actually.
FIrst set lasted a bit over a season and the current set didn't quite see the season out.

Yes they need a reasonably good bit of heat in them to work so it's always a reasonable burnout, otherwise they will either spin or tramp.

They seam to hook up best at 21psi, however this does vary with the track condition.
On a really well prepared track I've had them hook up with 26psi.

However the original 245/40/18 M/T's needed to be down to about 15psi to work and this was with less power than the current combo.

Hi Drew, yeh I've got AP Racing 6 and 4 piston calipers.

Factory 17" wheels should fit, however I haven't tried, but 275/40/17's are a bit too small in diameter anyway.

[Roonstain]

I got them second hand mate with the ET streets already on them, so no point in comparing.....
