What Size Tyres For 270 Rwkws R33 Gtst

[gts4diehard]

The tyres on my R31 were in pretty good nick, 5mm tread. Although a cheaper brand (Tornados - apparently made by Pirelli), I could give the old RB30 a bootful in the wet from a standing start and get virtually No wheel spin, so the compound seemed pretty good.

You prob right about the R33 suspension but I agree with others here, better quality 'narrow' tyre over a cheaper wider tyre.

Wet weather is for safe driving and easy drifting, its not for putting power down to the ground,

with 270 rw/kw it will be hard for any street tyre to put the power down,

i say the wider the better,

i have a mate with a series 2 R33 with 270 rw/kw, he uses 18x40x275 FALKENS on the rear and he still gets plenty of wheel spin

go as wide as you can!

I could spin up RE540s no probs with around 270rwkw (also a 3037)

things that will help you get your power down, aside from tyres:

- lock your hicas

- get a mechanical diff, 1.5 way would be best for the street, 2 way if you are into drift

You can fit a 9 inch rim with 255s without a problem, as mentioned before, Koya drift teks are cheap wheels which are reasoanbly light and look good. They make them in 17 x 9 +30 offset which should fit.

Get some R comp tyres on there, you will still be able to spin them, but that is what the right foot traction control is for

My pic of the R comps so far is Federal 595RS, excellent dry grip, not bad in the wet and wear very, very well (much better than RE540s or RE55s I have found) - and they are about the cheapest R comp you can get.
