hi guys i have to buy some new tyres . The size i have on at the moment is 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. The rears are good at this stage but i need to replace the front two.

What i wanted to know was from everyone's experience whats the best tyre they have found in regards to wear and performance. Im not after something that wears down by the day and incredible handling. I just want to hold a bit of grip in the dry and wet .

Also i have found a set cheap on ebay but the size is 235/45/19 will they fit without rubbing the guards. Does anyone else have this size tyre on . My car is factory height from what i can see .

Check this website to see what size you need.

I think those 45 profile will throw your speedo out by too much.

45 profile is for 18s, 19s you will have to step down to 40 or 35 depending on tyre width to keep the rolling diameter and speedo accurate.

A few good tyres I recommend which I have used:

1. Falken FK452

2. Sumitomo HTR-ZIII

3. Federal SS595

They are decent tyres with a good combination of grip and wear without blowing the budget. If the above is still not within budget then ur next step down are your Nangkangs, Maxxis and Nexens.

I normally use this calculator to work out tyre sizes. Stick in the factory specs eg: 225/45/18 and insert the possible tyre profiles in 19s which you are after. Rule of thumb is you should stay within 15mm of stock diameter.

The ones im looking at buying is the pirelli p-zero 235/45/19 i can get them for $600 for the pair. Also the yokahama in 245/35/19 for $600 for the pair. Have you or anyone heard of a italian tyre starts with the letter M ?

How much is the falken's ?

Falkens cost me just over $300 for 265 in 18s. Do not get the pirellis in the 235/45/19 as it is way out and you will probably start scrubbing...Tyre starting with M...Michelin?

i guess i will have to let me pirelli go then. And the tyre is not michelin something else. I saw alot of them listed on ebay before and now they are hard to find. I will try doing a search for them alot of people using them give them the thumbs up.

yeh i think if anything the biggest profile you'll want to go is 40...judging by ur picture though 45's wouldn't look/be too bad...do the 245's stretch? what size is ur rim?...if 245's don't stretch on ur wheel u can get 235 but by the looks of it 245 should be the best choice.

I have no idea what you mean by stretch . I dont know the size of the rim either . But a few people have said falken tyres seems to be ok for the money.

So you think the 235/45/19 would fit ok on these wheels

Im not really concerned that much about money value just handling and wear. I have never been a fan of falken . For some reason always like the brands like pirelli , michelin and yokohama.

Has anyone used the yokohama AVS im looking at getting a pair in 245/35/19 for $600 pretty good deal i think.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
