just a tip, probably would have been better to get some opinions BEFORE you bought your tyres.

Hey mate

Firstly, this is in the wrong section, the tyre thread in Suspension, braking and tyres is the place for these questions.

I have had a set of these tyres, they are very average tyres for wet and dry use. They are ok for street use, nice and quiet and last ok but are not really a performance tyre, so you can use them at the track but they wont be any good, and you will probably destroy them very quickly.

ok cool stuff, is it just this grade of Toyo tires that suck? are there better versions of toyos that are really good? Let me know cos ive heard alot of good things about Toyo's.

we use and recommend Bridgestone RE55 tyres for serious circuit machines. lots of grip and durability, a set of these usually last about 10 months or about 160 laps.

They dont suck, they perform as they should for their intended purpose and price.. if you want a performance tyre, then they are the wrong ones....

There are good toyos but they cost more and have different compromises... T1Rs are a good performance street tyre and toyo make R compound tyres for track use too.

    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
