Hey guys...

Just wanted to ask a question.. Im thinking about buying some 18" rims here in Japan (whilst im still here) to take back to Australia, but just wondering how much 18" Tyres go for roughly back home..

I'm thinking around 245/40-18 and 255 or 265/40-18.

Just wondering what the going rate is for cheapy tyres and maybe some decent rubber (non race stuff).

Can anyone gives us an idea?

Thanks!

Thanks for some of the replys, but could you guys post up what brands your running too? Prices and size is good, but as i mentioned im not looking for the cheapest tyres. Rather spend a wee more and get some nicer rubber.

And markimak, did you steal the tyres for that much? Whats the story there?

id go nankangs over falkens any day of the week

my falkens had way less grip

Thats a bit of a broad statement don't you think? I've had Nangkangs before, they are a good budget tyre and would probably last you a lifetime. The Falken 326's although have never used them, seems majority of the feedback on this forum seems to indicate they are worse than crap. Currently have the Falken FK452s on which are awesome for a mid range performance tyre for everyday driving, definately better than the kangs...

I haven't been at home for a while but if i remember the last time i had some federals on the back (255/40/17) and they were good enough. Well atleast better than the more expensive falkens i replaced them with.. Go figure.

So i would rather not make the same mistake again...

Poida - depends what you call 'nice rubber'.

My 205/55/16 fronts used to be $225 each, which were nice. (Bridgestone S03) Have a look at replacement cost for the factory tyres on an a 350Z Track or similar (factory 18's)

To get the good stuff, you'll be spending a lot more. Should be able to pick up some decent mid range stuff without spending $$$$$ though.

Theres a classic saying with tyres (and other things)

Cheap

Longetivity

Grip

Pick 2. (or in the S03 case, only 1)

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
