Its working so far. I put a removable cap on this one which proved to be week in the o-ring. I have it triple o-ringed now and it held 60psi before i dropped it to 35. Buddy at Home Depot totally thought i was building a pipe bomb.

I've had a tube in my truck for 2 years. Tire pressure light has never come on.

 

Noice!! Weather's pretty good, maybe you should put them on the car and post some pics, just for ***** 'n giggles.

here's a couple of other "bombs" that I came across.

 

just had a set of Yoko Geolander A/T-S installed on the wife's CRV on Saturday down in Bellingham at Discount Tire. awesome service, everything as promised. installed and out the door for $535. my best price in Vancity was $999+.

for reference i got pricing on replacement tires for my coupe 19" Rays. the Hankook V12 was the best price, installed and out the door for $725. my best price in Vancity for those would be $1200+.

this is a no-brainer for anyone who lives within ~1.5 hrs of the border. also had a F/R alignment done for $60 (tax included).

 

I don't mean to hijack this but you seem to bee discussing it a bit.
Am I to understand that if you keep your programmed tpms sensors in the vehicle, in a pressurized container, that the vehicle TPMS will still sense them and the dash light will not come on?

 

^ this has been discussed in the V36 section as well.
It was debatable whether it would work on 2nd gen.
I'm thinking about experimenting with it.

In 40 kms today, my light hasn't come on with the sensors in a cell with 35psi in it. Usually, i get just about to work and the light comes on (assuming tires are warming up???).

I have had this exact set up on my 06 Frontier (same sensors) for around 2 years and have yet to have the light come on. I had offroad wheels and road/winter wheels for it and i was too cheap to buy a 2nd set of sensors. I actually havent added air to the trucks tube since October at least. I usually check it when i check the tire pressure.

 

Might as well add pics. Its imposible to keep the car clean for 10 minutes, but pics non the less.

 

Looks great, Keith!! Nice stance and flush as hell.

Like to see a shot from directly behind, check out the width of those rears skins.

 

Added one. I only have one camera though, and unfortunately it attatched to a phone.

 

Hey! You finally put those springs in! Looks great, our cars are almost twins now.

 

Yes, finally! I was quite lazy this winter. Thanks again, love em!

 

Figured i'd give a lil update on the Ecsta SPTs.

Roughly 15k on them since i put them on in march. Rears are pretty much useless. At the wear bars in the center 70% of the tread, outer edges have 3-5/32s remaining. I have a bit of a heavy foot sometimes, but do drive 50 hwy kms a day though.
Fronts are doing ok sitting at approx. 85% tread remaining.

Noise level is not terrible. I'd say 6/10 with 10 as silent. Flat spotting is among the worst I've experienced though. Whether its +20* or -5* these tires thump to all hell for 10-15 min of constant driving.

Traction is far better than the Michelin Mvxvvvxxmvvxx's that were on there, but they were 215/55/17's as well. Much harder to swing the tail out in a heavy corner/throttle situation... Never tracked the car this year, so can't comment on how heat affects them.

I'm a bit disappointed that i got 15k out of the rears, but the car was new to me since I put the tires on and any light to light accel has been moderate to heavy. I will most likely try another set of 255's on the rear if i keep thiese wheels for next season. Interested to see how they last now that its a little less exciting to drive the car.

 

My Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S' didn't last worth shyte, either. They started looking nearly new this past spring but are now completely flogged after 10-11k, despite a wear rating of 420. Plus when new they threw rocks like a ****, as Eno will attest.

I don't really have a heavy foot, and the front Falkens still look the same as when I put them on last summer. Come spring I may try to find some 255/35 or 245/40 Falkens for the rear to match the fronts in wear/performance/looks. Or if I can get four of the same brand tire I may sell the Falkens (245/35-19). I'd love to get back to Bridgestones, or maybe some Michelin Pilot Sports.

Here's how the F1's looked 6 months ago: (trashed Falkens on the left courtesy of red35, haha!):



And here's how they look now (top):

 

Last summer i got Hankook V12 on my OEM 19s for $1050CD out the door here in Ottawa.
