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)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
