Could someone please reccomend a tyre for my car, something sticky even in the wet, But aswell i dont want to spend 3000 on tyres something decent and good for the money. I also like to drag so something for the Street and drag. Im willing to spend between $200-300 per tyre.

Federal 595RS-R's :ermm:

+1. KU36s are cheaper and well regarded, but less grippy than the RSRs. I figure with 320kw you want all the grip you can get. Might be a touch over $300 per tyre, but excellent value.

EDIT: Oh i have NFI about drag specifically, comments apply to street and track.

i found federal 595ss absolute crap, i can break traction 1st and half of 2nd in my gtr with 330kw with 4wd working and without launching

when launching its a joke no traction what so ever

tyres only have just over 7000kms on them

Falken 452's

They are ussualy $275 per tyres and average a wet rating of 4.7 out of 5 & a dry rating of 4.6 out of five if you look around on the bnet at tyre forums and review sites.

They are not a slick, they are a performance tyre (although my be labeled a wet weather tyre) designed for wet weather driving & street/light track.

They are the compeating tyre too the toyo proxy T1R.

Best thing about them is they never lose traction unless you come into a corner doing 140km with your foot on the brake!!!

Worst feature is noise and they average 30,000km but its very good as the tyre is a EXTREAMLY soft rubber.

These tyres are great for street driving and i have never ever had my slip light come on in the wet and on track are great for light work.

Fed SS and Falken 452s are normal street tyres. I used Fed SS and they were good for street but not much chop for track. The S spec KU36 and RSRs will have a much higher grip level, but compromise wear noise comfort etc over a full street tyre. Personally i dont notice the difference in noise/comfort with Falken RT-615s or Fed RSRs tho.

What size rim do you have? If you have the stock 32 GTR rim then Birdgestone adrenalines.

I put them on my car running 370 kw at the treads and in first gear in the wet they dont break traction. I thought my clutch was slipping!

Falken 452's are used by a some guy in drifting comps. Aussie tyres on the central coast sponsor him with those tyres. Somthing like 75% off but he cant afford them now so he is using cheap nexen 2000's (stay away from that crap)

+1 Toyo R1r's

i have them all round on my R32 GTR

i have 320rwkw, similar power

my rims are 17's

i have 235 x 45 R17 all round, picked them up for exactly $300 each

pretty pricey but they do work really well, had them on the street car for about 10 months now.

i dont track the car so i can't tell you from my experience what they're like but i'd assume that the compound is good enough not to 'chunk'

they're great when you can get some heat in them, i can take corners in the hills so much better now and with more confidence.

and the wet weather grip is great, i was spinning all 4 in the wet on the weekend but it was pouring down in Adelaide and i really did put my foot down. so with a couple millimetres of water on the road and over 300kw what can you expect?

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
