20" Tyres?

[Gazzilla]

Didnt know where else to Post this.

But It has come time for me to get mi Mits on some new tyres. Ive Been Looking around a bit, and have Noticed that Bugger all tyre shops actually have 20" tyres. BoB Jane were the only place out of about 5 that I Visted, that actually stock 20" tyres, only 1 brand tho, WANLI and $320 a tyre stings just a little. So I was hoping some 1 could steer me in the direction of some Magical place that have various brands of 20" tyres and good prices.

peace!

Your worried about $320 a tyre for 20's? onoes...

Dude a decent 20" tyre that isnt a death trap is going to be at the least, $400-450 a corner, and a lot more for a decent tyre

What distributors have you tried so far?

[jake33]

the Tyre Expets on Sydney rd Falkner will definetly have em. they also stock 2nd had ones too.

i picked up perelli pzeros. 275 on the rear. 19s. second hand but got great tread( still fine after 6 months) for like 200 or something.( think they were around 500 a tyre new).

[adznight]

lol, cheap and 20" don't really belong in the same sentence do they?

My thoughts exactly. 20" is massive!!!

wtf?

lol thats massive for wat car?

[candy33]

i would spend the extra $$ and get a decent tyre.. Ive had a set of cheaper 20" tyres and they squell when cornering and have minimal grip and were outright dangerous in the wet.

I now have decent Nankang NS 2 performance tyres which costed me about $500 each, but their well worth it as they wear slower and have a heap of grip.

You can't put a price on your life.. trust me go the extra mile and buy something decent..you pay for what you get.

Kakimoto wide body R33

widebody R32... rear wheel is Work VS-XX 17"x11" -6 offset. 315/35/17 is a common sized tyre in the US as its the same size corvettes and vipers use. They even make Nitto drags in that size

Kakimoto wide body R33

I wish... kakimoto takes 355/something/17's. lol craig almost tore his hair out looking for new tyres... only people that make em are bridgestone and pirelli... special order.

I just bought 20inch rims for my R32 GTR i live in Sydney and got them from Tempe tyres, they were custom drilled on site and are perfect offset for the car.

They sold them with Nankang but i upgraded to a Toyo brand. It fills the guards perfectly and still have room to lower the car 2 inches from stock ride height when i get my coil overs soon. They cost usually $3600 but they had a deal going and i managed to bargain them to $2800 fitted with the up rated tyres to so i was very happy.

I cant believe it but my ride quality is still great even with the mrs in the car i was very surprised not that bumpy could be because i had a good set of tyreson there quality counts.

When i figure out how to put pics on this site i will put it in you guys will be surprised how good 20s look, i will keep the Original forged 16 inch GTR rims for track use and drifting events but the 20s are for show.

Cheers,

Dave.

20" inch tyres for $250 cant be good

i had 17" tyres for $250 - hankook k104s and they were pretty ordinary, cheap and rubber yes, but suitable for a powered skyline - probalby not

[GTR 400]

Hi there Paul R33 i am not sure what it will cost for 20inch rubber yet i got them as i great package deal.But i will say this my GTR in its current mild form ran a 12.4 1/4mile with ease i had no wheel spin or broke traction, i have pushed this car hard on the street always and never had had probs unless i wanted them if you know what i mean and all of this was done with the cheapest set of standard Bob Jane tyres. Yep no bull so if below average tyres will rack up a low 12sec 1/4 and handle decently on the road im sure a set of low profile Toyos will easy out handle and grip the cheapest set of Bob Janes.

Cheers,

Dave.

have u had the wanli's before...??? iam not really a fan of them as the tend to understeer in the wet, wouldnt suggest them for a performance car.

Yea ive Got WANLI's atm, and they are dangerous in the wet. traction is a minimal. Drifting around every corner in the wet is bit rediculous at times. but id have to admit on Hot days they are Alright.

[**JaR**]

i'd say in the dry most tires are pretty similar....the wet will separate the good from the shit
