Hi all,

Its time to replace my tyres on my r34 gt-t.

At the monent i have the falken 451's and they're ok.

Just want to know what else is out there, i want GOOD tyres that are going to be able to cope with alot of power for a street car thats used for daily driving in wet and dry..

I dont bother ringing tyre shops as they try to sell me $140 family car tyres.

I want some professional advice please.

Thanks in advance.

When you say cope, is that traction or length of life?

Its not quite clear :laugh:

With big power, you wont have traction regardless of what tyre you use.

It more comes down to the driver how long and how fast the tyres will die.

You can fork out serious coin for big brand name tyres.

But if you cant restrain the right foot then you'll be due for a new set in under 6 months

Maybe head down to the Ferrari dealer and see what they put on the back of a 575.

That is a 500hp road car with road tyres, then just buy a set of whatever it uses.

I could only find the size which is 295/35ZR18 so hopefully they can fit.

i remember the standard tyres as being bridgestone s02. this was from a uk (EVO) magazine, so they may be different on a local model.

They are normally fitted with perelli P ones or get a semi slick street tyre

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
