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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
