Heyas.

I'm currently looking for some tyres for my new wheels. After some decent 235x35x18. Tried my local Tyrepower, but the lady there told me i was making up tyre sizes, and went on to argue with me when i proved her wrong on multiple topics. So i won't be buying tyres off them... ever.

I realise they aren't a common tyre size, but any propper sports tyre brand will make them.

Anyway, i'm in the western suburbs, NOR.. Looking for somewhere that does decent tyres. Thought i'd find out where most of you go.

Any suggestions appreciated.

- Steve

I got some from tyrepower just recently, asked for 225x50x17... they didn't have stock but got some in ready for my booking. Came out with 225x45x17... didn't care enough to go back and complain especially when I don't even know the difference between 50/45 etc. I'm guessing it's the width of the tyre?

it's the aspect ratio of the tyres.. depicts the height of the tyre wall as a % of the width.

ie, your tyres you asked for were 112.5mm tall, the ones you got were 101.25mm

haha that's no good! I only got the rear tyres changed, the front tyres are still 50's.

Edit: just checked my tyres then and the fronts are 45's, so it's all good. I thought they all used to be 50's but it must have just been the rear tyres.

and yes,.. he had moved to Claremont.

if you need some tyres it pay to call him first then use it to compare with other store.

Any1 know where i can reasonable tread pattern 19" rubber from? 2/245 and 2/285

i just looking for something with V pattern and not that huge price!

:(

Best bet is probably some Federals. Have to get 595s for 19" .. probably looking at $350 a tyre (for the 245s) . They're a good looking well performing tyre.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
