Tyres

[Daz]

Iam needing help in which tyres to buy for my R34 Skyline. As we all know it is pretty easy to loose it in the wet with skylines. I am looking for the best quality tyres that will give me the best grip on the roads and especially in the wet. I was thinking Bridgestone Potenzas or Pirelli's. $$$ is not a problem.

Yeah definately what u have already said... G-Grid SO2s or SO3s are pretty good for grip... my mate had them on his VL Turbo and they performed quite well. Potenzas would be even better

ps. if u want grip in the wet then u will want smaller tyres... the reason most ppl have issues with traction in the wet is cause when they get their wheels and tyres they go and get the fatest, widest set of tyres and rims cause it looks better... of course this isnt good for the wet.

Thanks inark great info, Yeah I will probably get the Potenza S03

Hey there,

I've got the Potenza G3's, they're pretty good...but nothing seems to stop the skyline sliding in the wet...

I've been lookin at tyres recently and found that the Hankook K104 Sport silicas seem to be the best value for money going round. A friend put them on his 525 BMW and rekons they shit all over the Continentals that were on previously.

But if money is not a problem go a set of Pirelli PZero Asimmetrico. They is the shnitz.

the reason most ppl have issues with traction in the wet

because a lot cant drive

nitto's?

best street typres in the world

if money is no option

[inark]

they arent street legal

[romaniac]

oh ok didnt know that

but if you have enought money to buy those tires, you would prob have enough money to pay the fines aswell

[inark]

lol yeah i spose...

[acsplit]

dunlop fm901's seem to perform better in the wet than the pirelli p7000 i have them on the front and they work a treat but are very soft.

also vokohama a539's or the so3's

[inark]

[Guest terrance]

haha. cool. a bunch of workmates and i were walking past the red one last week and this one girl goes "that looks cool, whats that?" and this one guy said "oh, i think its a wrx"

didnt have the heart to make him look bad. (he likes that girl) but i was almost in tears from holding in all the laughter.

and to stay on the topic, tyres are important kids. and stay off the drugs.

Would there be much of a difference if I had semi slicks on?
