Hi guys, Im going to buy 19x9.5 inch wheels. My GTR is used as a daily driver so it is pretty much used full time for street. I dont really need race track performance.

I just want a good all weather tyre which is good for street use.

Which ones out of the 3 I have listed should I buy?

Comments from people using any I have listed would be great.

Thanks heaps

Judging from other threads - and getting bang for your bucks for street use...

Toyo Proxes 4 seems to be terrific for

i) dry (around 8/10)

ii) wet (around 7.5/10)

iii) longevity (around 8.5/10)

iv) cornering (around 8/10)

Kumhos apparently wear out quickly.

I don't mind alternative views. For instance RE001 Adrenalins are also good

Nankangs may not corner as well but their aftersales service and warranty from head office to the tyre shop is second to none. They replaced an NS II on my Prelude no questions asked and no answers doubted.

Cheers, T

PS My son has Bridgestone RE001 & is most happy wet or dry. I've still got the original RE 01 but am about to get Proxes 4 soon

Highly recommend the Proxes..

Have them on my gtr... Grip in the dry on the road is phenomenal :D I've tracked it with these tires and with a bit of care have managed to do very well with them cutting past semi-slick equipped Evo's.

When i flick the switch to RW with a nice soft launch i have traction through 1st (80% throttle) through 2nd with my foot down flat to the floor.

Cheers

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
