All I have heard is complete praise for Dunlop FM901's. You may also find a set of Bridgestone RE711's will give you similiar ride quality when compared directly as an Ultra High Perofrmace tyre... each to their own.

Otherwise, Tire Rack will give you in-depth reviews, specs & ratings for most treads on the market. (Ie. FM901 Review)

I eventually got a set of Bridgestone S-03s put on today..

bs_s03.jpg

I havent had a chance to give them much curry.. but the little squirt around teh round about I had was impressive.. now I just need a better suspension setup :confused:

For the azz end I got a pair of 255/40 17, and the front 235/45 17..

Cost me around 1300 for the set.. *sighs*

I'll give them a decent road test and let you know how they go.

got Falken 451's, heaps heaps good. Can't fault them, apart from the rears tend to spin up off the line(traffic lights!!)

235x45x17 front

255x40x17 back

Fronts have worn a bit on the inside, but this is due to camber/allignment.

both have done about 35,000 and still have at least 35% tread

Good in the wet:uh-huh:

Well.. WHAT CAN I SAY!?

Took my car up through the twisties on these new tyres.. in my RWD 170rwkw gtst I out drove an r32 GTR, WRX, and an r34 GTR.. the car was on rails, and powered out of corners like no tommororow, they love the wet.. I was taking 80k/h corners at 5-6k rpm in 2nd gear with no wheel spin on wet roads.. and still powering out of corners..

im impressed.. i can not speak highly enough of them.

I've had a number of different tyres on my car in teh 2 1/2 years I've had my car... IMO, best bang for your buck tyres are the Falken Azenis ST115's... They're slightly more grippy than the FM901's, and slightly cheaper... On the downside, they don't last _quite_ as long... But still have a reasonably good life... I got almost a year out of the ones on the back of my car :D

also.. ive heard from multiple reliable sources that skyrines perform better with 255s on the ass, and 235s on the fronts..

The guys at the tyre place I am dealing with are suggesting the Pirelli P Zero Nero.

They reckon its grip is up with the best, but the ride quality is a lot better than most low profile tyres.

Anyone had any experience with them?

A set for mine will cost about $1800 fitted though.. ouch.

faulken grb's

for all you tight arses.. 255,40,17 i got four for 760 fitted and balanced

sure they dont gip as well as the yoki fl e-specs but i find that the only tyre that can hold up to a full day of drift at the creek without rippin the tread of to be fulken zeix(ful **** house) and the grb

downside is they dont sell the tune 2's anymore which were the grippier version, fk451 have slightly more gip than the grb's but they wear out extreamly quick(for the record they were 210 each). the st115(supposed to be good never had a set but they do were out as stupidly quick 270 each)

temple tyres 190 each sure it run by kabobies (several people said sic car bro is it a gtr)but i was in and out within 20 minutes. nice service i higly rcommend. especcially if you have been to a bob jane and they take 1.5 hours to get your car back on the road(but they do have a coffe machine)

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
