Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

dont go too cheap, Stick with Nankang, Wanli, Hiro, etc.

Surely you jest :P

Wanli and Hiro are some of the shittest out there. A good tyre I've found that grips surprisingly well for its price is the Firestone 'Wide Oval'. Nice grippy compound, yet still seem to wear quite well.

i havent had much trouble with my Wanli's, they just are a harder compound therefore last longer, but im saying if u go cheap, Wanlis and Hero (which Madaz is running) are probably the lowest you should go. Hero's are made by Federal, so they cant be that bad.

Lowest you should ge being the lowest of the lot? :P

I've had various types of Wanlis, and they're all crap. The good thing is (like you said) they last ages. I had a pair of rears on the 100 last for 3 drift days and about 5000 road kays. They had absolutely no grip, but you can't argue with that tyre life :(

Maxxis tend to be a lot better tyre for a marginal price increase over Wanlis, and for a little bit more, the Wide Ovals are better again. I'd never run Wanlis or any of the cheap lesser brand tyres on the front, thats asking for trouble. Rears are a moot point in my case, but you gotta run with good fronts.

lol Damo............no accounting for taste bud.........Demi Moore @ 50 leaves her for dead

Lady Gaga is a lady hoho

:(

Wearing just underwear detracts eyes from her ugly looks. I think she needs to lose about 5kg too and tone up that lardy body. How come you find that attractive Damo? Your woman is 100x better looking dude. :P

^ so you know what we have to put with then?

Boof: It's not always about traction though. Steering and braking aren't much fun when you haven't got any grip.

And +1 Kralster, well said.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
