Hey people. I have posted this question in another thread but

need more input please. I have read through the thread on

tyres how would you rate them and there are so may different

opinions. I am currently running Hankook Ventus 225/50/16

and i must say they are rubbish (also i know they are cheap).

With 192RWKW is it possible to get a street legal tyre that

will grip with no or very little wheel spin. I am sick of ringing

tyre places just to have every single one saying different things.

Im happy to spend the $$$. I just want to make the right choice

the first time without wasting money on crap. :)

Also thanks to benm for his input in another thread.

What situation are you talking about? Traction on the race track or drag strip?

Race track, Bridgestone RE55's are a great option and stick like glue once up to temp. Me and my dad cut 4sec a lap from our time around Wakefeild race track with these tyres alone.

Drag strip, Nitto Drag Extremes are the best street tyre for the strip IMO, as close to a slick as possible while still being a street legal tyre.

Once you get some decent power your going to need some seriously good rubber. I run Toyo RA1's which is an R compound tyre in the same league as RE55's. I run them full time on the street and the grip is superb. With street tyres i had traction problems in 2nd gear coming under boost and dont even think about 1st gear, waist of time. With the RA1's, i get traction in first gear on the street. Your no longer scared of 4wds at the lights.

If you want to try a pair there is a guy that sells Yoki's R series compounds that come off the Brute utes. He flogs them off for about $100 each half worn, might give you a feel of them.

in terms of good tyres that will cop what you throw at them.

federal ss595. cheap and good.

good for mid nines on a gtr :D

having generic "tein" s wont help. the more power you got the more time you are gonna have to spend setting up the rear end.

ie. subrame pinaples etc andeling the diff for more squat etc

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Thanks mate   It's all coming together finally. It's just a better racecar now and also yeop I've pulled my thumb out and committed and the combo seems to be gelling Depends what you mean by not much more haha There's at least a 1.19 in this My fastest lap posted lost 3.5 tenths in T10 and this was on 80% power and 5 heat cycle old tyres The next session/ lap we did we were up 4 tenths with the car out of the final turn T12 accelerate straight and going with 1 or 2 tenths to come from the power to the finish line and the shifter/gbox combo stopped selecting    So we wouldve had it. The whole thing..   Also repeated this the very next lap up 3 tenths out of T10 and same issue Add some news tyres and we good   Looking forward to a break then yeop WTAC and see if we can actually have a decent run

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.
