I've got:

Front: 235/45 17"

Rear: 225/45 17"

Is it OK to put 235's on the rear too? Car is R33 GTS-T

I ask because I want to be able to rotate the tyres etc... =]

Thanks guys :)

Your car is RWD, you should be running wider tyres on the rear to give a bit more traction / grip.

As mad082 has said, there is nothing wrong with running 235's all round.

If I were your I'd run

Front: 235 / 45 / 17"

Rear: 235 / 45 / 17"

Then you can rotate when ever you want, every 6 months, whatever...

U need to search! 150 each delivered and I got yoko's from a trader on here!

hmmm i had yokohama's once. They lasted about 10,000kms and were completely bald. Less than 6 months. Never again. I like good traction but not that much. Maybe they have some that last longer but I've always heard of yoko's being really soft.

If your Yokohama's lasted you about 10,000kms and were really soft, then that would explain it.

Well it should last your more then 10,000kms, but I assume your tyres where on the way out, at the time.

Soft tyres are best for grip but have bugger all lasting time.

Hard tyres will last longer but for them to grip, they will need to warmed up, but soft tyres will still be better for grip.

Did you track your Yokohama's?

Or were they already on the car and running low on tread..?

Decent performance tyres for street cars should last about 2 years avg.

I had Yokohama ADVAN's, nice tyres but were getting low on tread then I went Kumho ECSTA's.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
