Hi There,

Thinking of getting a set of semi slick Azenis tyres for my R33 gts-t.. (255x40x17 rear & 235x45x17 fromt)

Really interested to see if anyone currently use's these tyres on the street (yes, they are street legal)???

I understand they are soft compund and will wear much faster but does anyone know how many K's they got out of them??

Will it make a small or huge difference to handling on street?

Best regards

Rob

I have a mate with a well sorted s14 with these tyres. He gets about 10,000km of pretty hard driving.

They'll make a massive handling difference too if the rest of your suspension is up to it.

:) thx

Does anyone know how much for the tyres?

I want to get a spare set for occasional track day

I have Azenis semi slick 255/40/17 @ rear and keep my FM901 (235/40/17) in front for handling comparision for two weeks now, the rear does not easy to step sideway as what I though before, instead it's quite grippie compare to the FM901 I had before, also in past weeks sydney was in wet most of time and the falken perform extremly well..

just my 0.02

OH..tempe sell them 300 ea fitted and balance inc german valae.

I bought my 32 with a half worn set.

Three months later they were gone.

I guess it depends on your driving, i was not kind to them.

On a plus side they are unbeatable on the road once there was heat in them. The feel and bite was beautiful even on damp surface.

I'm now running TOYO TS-1 and they suck!

I agree GTRman1992, true R tyres are a huge step up from road tyres, the Azenis are definately at the bottom of the range for R tyres.

But the serious R tyres are a real pain to live with, noisey, tramlining, v fast wearing, you would have to be very serious to use them all the time. I've used , Bridgestone Re540s, Dunlop D01Js and Bridgestone Re55s, the Re55s are amazing, another level up altogether

but seriously guys im using the Azenis semi slick tyres on my gtr, and ive never had a better tyre then them, once they get warm, there isnt much differnce in the grip compared to all the other tyres mentioned, the only differnce is that they are east to drive with daily, not noisy, and handle very very well, mine dont last long only a couple of months, but thats only casue all 4 wheels spin in most gears once boost kicks in, ad its only about $1240 for the whole set of 4.

for street use i highly recomend them.

I see...

And I assume by this you have bought and used D01Js, RE540s, and RS55s on the street and for track work? :D

I run RE-540S as everyday tyres. I don't mind the road noise (only bad at 80km/h) and as for wear:

Tyre set 1 (NangKangs): 8000Km

Tyre set 2 (Yoki 539's): 17000Km

Tyre set 3 (RE-540's): So far about 5000K and they still look good, I've also done a track day with them.

I think for the hard core driving most of us do only a set of racing tyres are up to the task. My NangKangs were not worn out as such, the tread blocks were torn out.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
