Best Tyres Under $300 Each

Ive read the tyre comparison stickied but still cant come to a conclusion which tyres i should get. I need two rear tyres as they are on the belts, and i dont want to spend over $300 each. I have no idea about tyres and i need two 255/35/18's. ive sussed out some prices, $240 for Nexens, but someone said they were a shitty compliance tyre. I can get Hankooks for $289 (they couldnt tell me the name of them, apparently they have only one?) and yokohamas for $520! apparently they are really soft and get eaten up really quickly tho.

So im just looking for really good grip in dry and good lifespan (not excellent, willing to trade some for better grip).

So what does everybody think would be the best option?

I put Nexens on my car, there not that bad, I think that there better than the g-grid II's that i used to have. $225 each for 245/40/18.

Hi,

I am getting a set of Hangkook 275/35/18 K104Ventus Y rated fitted and balanced for $310Each....

I have been running a new set for 1 year 245/45/17 K104's $255 Each and they have not missed a beat.

I would highly recommend these to anybody who wants their performance tyres to last.

Nexens sounds very cheap for a performance tyre....what rating are they?

Do they have 255/265/275/280/285 Sizes in these?

Cheers

The Nexens are normally rated as a Car Yard Tyre, you will see a heap of them and Sava's on car yard cars, as they are cheap (price and quality) and they are a new tyre, just some advice on them.

The Hankooks arnt that bad for the money, you are getting into a trusted tyre brand, and they still have a name to uphold in the market, so they dont tend to put out crap tyres, but they do have different quality tyres for different prices, so the bottem end of the price range you are getting a bottem end tyre from there range.

The Federals are a Great quiet tyre with a good wear on them, and once again are a lower price than the Bridgestones and the Pirilli's, and wont be as soft as them either, but I think for the money they would prolly be a look in, if you can get them in that size in your area.

and the Falkens are a great softer compound tyre, normally means slightly higher grip, lower road noise, and also a slightly shorter road life, but once again in the price bracket you have stated, I would point you into one of these 3 brands. Hankook, Falken, Federal.

Hope this helped.

Hi there,

Thanks for this.

The reason I stated this was since I have had them I have seen hardly much tyre wear and

comfort has been great compared to the Jap. Advans that were on then previously.

I have seen Hangkook test these tyres on the track on a R34GTR

going around the Nur. Ring. in Germany.

They are Y rated...ie 300KM's an hour and have a warranty on wear.

Sure they have just launched the new K107's but these are 200 Dollars more each.

So my answer to this question asked on this thread is.

Hangkook K104's 245/45/17 are Y rated, great tyres that I am using at the moment.

Tested at 300KM's an Hour, track proven......for a street car.

They cost around $275 Each fitted and balanced which is under $300 Each. :)

Cheers

toyo trampios are alright for their price, but if i were to choose again i would probly go the hankook k104. just to try them out

got the toyo TPGs but wasnt too happy with em, had falken ZE512 and they shit all over the toyos.

heard good things about hankook though, try them

regretting the toyos a little, feel they should grip better

try the new Falken FK452s. I got a set few weeks ago 235 and 265 for $1100 all up in 18s.

Can I ask where you got them from?

I called a local Tyrepower in Sydney (that's who Falken Australia suggested) and they wanted around $320 a corner on 17"

I just put on some 285/30/18 pirelli P ZERO, $85 each with 60% tread. Look around for second hand you can get a better tyre for a cheaper price. I was told that the P ZEROs are around $900 each.

What are they Rosso A's or Giallo A's? Doesnt matter, that is a good price for 60%.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
