Yokohama Advan AD07 tyres (Possible Groupbuy)

[TAFKA TMB]

TAFKA TMB: Which state are you located at? What car you drive is pretty much irrelavent in this thread (dosen't even need to be a honda!). We just want to know who is interested in getting these tyres.\

I drive a DC2R on stock wheels – that’s why I was after 195/55 15’s. Looks like they have these on Lotus Elise’s (size?) too http://www.rickdamelian.com.au/Lotus...ve_page_id=479 and the Exige’s have A408’s. The A408 seems a bit more aggressive and I reckon it could get ugly in the wet.

And I live in Melbourne, I’ve got a friend who has a tyre fitting/balancing machine in his workshop so all I need is the hardware.

Just a quick reply:

Edw-R said the AD07's had DOT stamped on them; I don't think he showed any pictures.

Also, just confirming that the AD07's that I can get hold of HAVE DOT stamped on them!

I'll get back to you guys on how this will work later on tonight.

hey mugsee how much for a set of a048 or ad07's in 195/55/15?

Thanks Tinkerbell for the legality advice once again.

Tim: I'm not make elitist

I'm still trying to find out whether these have DOT marked on them but as soon as I find out, I'll let you guys know and we'll move on from there.

I was the one who found out about the DOT thing originally....

I got the information from a tyre person from the Bridgestone HQ here in Adelaide.....

DOT means 'Dept of Transport' approved in the US. Hence all US tyres (ie those from tirerack.com etc) are all approved legal in Australia.

you should let me know earlier michael......just got my RE001......

DOT is indeed an US standard, where as the E is the from Europe. Australian isn't signficant enought to have their own markings on tyres.

Cool! Three in Melb for now and maybe even a group fitment too! YAY!

[mugsee]

I'll try and get back to those of you who've pm'ed me with prices as soon as I find out - hopefully tonight. Also, I'm not too sure on the AD048s but I'll check and let you guys know.

Thanks G - I did find your name plastered all over the AD07 threads when I did some searching; Much appreciated Any Evo's interested in these AD07's?

Did you just volunteer for a group discount for fitting?

You know you want them... they'll be around the same price as the RE001's as well...

What car you getting?

I'd be up for a set of 4x 235/45/17 (93W or better). I dont think the US has this size though (already checked).... unless you're getting them from somewhere else?

[CK1]

What car you getting?

7th gen celica

If we can get your size, we'll get TAKA to take it down you to so you can save on freight costs

We can get 235/45/17 as these tyres will be coming in from Japan, but I'm not too sure about the exact speed/load rating. I'll enquire about that and let you know.

I've submitted a request for prices with everyones requests, so I'll update this once I find out more.
