You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Do epic skids then buy proper tyre.

Film the skids while you're at it.

Planning on buying proper track tyres all around. So Yokohama or Hankooks

Wont fit under GTT guards atm

So need to wait till I get some GTR guards

In all seriousness, just inflate them to normal pressure (36psi or whatever you do) and drive around, keeping an eye on them over time.

With 235s I reckon it should be fine if you go fast on corners if the profile is 40 or 45.

I'm sure someone will correct me.

Edit: what size/offset are the wheels?

235 on 9.5 aint even stretch doe. Normal tyre pressures will be fine.

Cheers brahs!

Its a 235/40 tyre

AD08

Yoko AD08 or Hankook RS3 is at the top of the list

Yoko AD08 R would be even better pending on price and availability

Otherwise NItto NT05, but not sure its performance as a track tyre

im looking to grab another set of AD08s or something similar also, road tyres im using at the moment (falken FK452) are awful with road noise.. and one of their claims is they eliminate nearly all road noise.. i hate them..

Can't go wrong with AD08's

Just kinda hurts the wallet unless you know a cheap place.

Falken 452s - typical of a silica based tyre, great for the first 50% of their life, and then just get noisier to the point where they are unbearable. Plenty of reviews saying the exact same thing IIRC.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
