Hey Guys, looking to purchase some new tyres very soon but im not too sure what to get. Was set on the KU31's since I've heard a lot of good things about them. Plus they are very cheap. I have however heard they are noisy?? Apparently they KU19 is much quieter however its also a softer compound and therefore wont last as long...So I've heard.

Car is a daily and I need the tyres to last long. Hoping for like 30K. Anyone have personal experience with both tyres that can give a comparison?

Cheers guys

Hey mate, I'm looking for the exact same thing at the moment, where are you getting them cheap as they don't look that cheap on their website???

I'm after tyres for stock R34 gtr rims and was thinkin of 265/35/18 as the stock 245/40/18 don't cover the full width of the rim properly...

    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car. 
    • lol the 2nd one boss, thank you for pointing this out. I feel as i spend more time here this intro message is some thing i will always make me laugh and shake my head at. Perfect Intro:  I have the vehicle  
    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
