I may get shot for saying this, but both Smooth and I are running Simex at the moment and they are one of the best tyres I have used if you are looking for long life. I have had these for almost 30,000 Km and they still have half tread on them.... and you have all seen how I drive, so I think that is great mileage.

 

They are quite sticky once warmed up, they aren't that crash hot in the wet though.

 

Not the best for really hard cornering either, as I feel they have a bit too much give in the sidewall.

 

maybe Smooth can tell us his thoughts

Totally agree, I had new rears put on this week and the previous ones lasted over 20,000km's... Apart from the puncture, the only reason they would have needed to be replaced due to wear is because I have camber...

Fronts would still have over 50% left...

I had $2k worth of perelli's on my old car and im more than happy with the simex's in comparison...

are those really ur photo Nizmo?

BBQ Shitsu hahaha... hey.. shit isnt **'ed out...

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
