M35's Wheels. What Wheels Do You Like On Your M35?

[slippylotion]

Well after having the KU31 Kumho on the M35, I wouldn't get them again! they are NOISY!!!

I run the ku31 on the front of my 180sx but due to the exhaust I couldn't hear them at all. Now on the M35, being a quite car, they are quite noisy. I will definitely buy a different tyre when these need to be replaced.

Wow, really? I didn't really notice extra noise when I fitted mine; maybe my original tyres were noisy too. What will you be looking at next time?

[slippylotion]

I'm not sure what I would get next time. These aren't a reall lot quieter than the jap snow tyres that it came on. One tyre shop said the ku31 is noisy and should look at the ku21. I should have listened.

I only stuck with the ku31 as I knew they gripped nicely in dry and wet. Didn't realize that on a quiet car they would be this noisy.

I don't run the stock exhaust so it doesn't seen any noisier to me

Solution? New exhaust

[slippylotion]

Yeah, I would love an exhaust on it but the boss won't let me.

[bigkevracer]

When I took mine back to AM Performance, Andrew said he would build to the noise level you want.

Theres also those Jap exhausts which are supposed to be quiet.

Damn, I was going to pick up some KU31's as well.

Back to the drawing board I guess. I was really hoping to keep the set under $850.

I've got a mate in Melbourne that owns a couple of tyre powers, basically his recommendation for me/us was

mid range thats not going to cost the earth, have minimal road noise and still be a good tyre go for the Toyo T1 Sports

Anyone looked at this option?

The cheapest I found the ku31 was $262 each fitted. I might be a little picky about the tyre. Maybe some of the noise is due to needing a wheel alignment, the may have too much rear toe causing a bit of noise as it drags the tyre. Booked in for an alignment Friday so see how I go.

A mate of mine can sort me out for $205 per corner.. Ideally another friend will be able to fit them but otherwise I'll pay for them to be fitted. Just going to keep an eye out for other options in the mean time if there's something a bit quieter.

[slippylotion]

Dang thats cheap. I even tried places interstate but they couldn't get my size. I also figured if I bought them interstate they would be around $200-220 each, plus $60-80 freight for the four, plus another $20 each to fit. So it didn't really work out that much cheaper for me if any, plus I needed them asap.

On another note, Im starting to think the noise might be a wheel bearing. It sounds, to me at least, like its mainly coming from the front passenger wheel. Ill get a second opinion on it.

Ahh thats sucks man. I guess it makes sense with the bigger wheels and extra camber now though.

[WAGON_BOY]

Here's my new wheels

20X8.5" not sure of the offset LOL

[impul535w]

Looks good

[jasevr4]

Are there decent cheap wheel/lock nuts kicking around nowadays?

Not sure if there's something else worth considering or just shelling out for Rays Duranuts..?

[slippylotion]

I bought a set of lock nuts from autobahn for $30. Very good quality set not cheap china junk. Also replaced all the other nuts with new chrome nuts in the smaller 19mm head size so the inside of the rims don't get scratched up. They where $4 each. Used a voucher from the entertainment book and only paid $75 all up.
