Picked up some Yokohama Advan A460's at the weekend..... today being a nice wet day, I thought I'd give them a test run.

I'd give these a 10 out of 10 in the wet, I've never had a tyre perform this good....traction traction traction!

Anyone out there looking at getting new tyres, I rate these!

There's another Advan series of tyre, apparently a few guys use them for the Tassy and NZ targas, cause they stick like glue in the wet.

You should get in contact with a place that stock yokohama, they'll find out for you.

As for price, yeah they are expensive but way worth it, in the fact I can drive in the wet without cringing into corners & praying not to crash :D

I got A539s on mine and they are excellent in the wet also. Yokohamas tend to be a little bit $$$$, but I think with tyres you get what you pay for. I have got Yokohamas on my skyline (235/45 R17 A539), my gemini van (175/70 R13 S760) and my mini (165/70 R10 A008) and they are all great and do exactly what I needed from them. A539 - good street performance with excellent wet weather properties, S760 cheapish quality tyre that gets good mileage, A008 STICKY AS HELL!!

ive got them tyres tho their ****ed now. camber and drifting = bad.

mine are 255s

mmmmm. and yes they grip very very well.

in the wet tho, they are pretty good, but due to having such a large tyre the weight per surface area makes my car aqua quite easily.

getting another two. but im a bit low on $ due to some stuff.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
