"racing Tyres" For My Skyline

[Spunky Munky]

Hi fellas,

Well it's time for me to get some new tires for my car. I saw a few Skylines and Evos driving around with "racing" looking tires - you know, the ones that have the tyre brand in bold white letters on the outside. Looks really tough and gives the race look plus I've heard they are sem-slick and provide good traction - can anyone help and are these street legal and if so - any real benefits or disadvantages AND where can I get some + how much more expensive are they compared to normal ones?

The attached picture is not exactly them but gives you an idea of what I am after!

Cheers

Just use a paint pen, then you can name then whatever hecktic tyre brand that all the kids are using on any particular day, extra street credibility would be guaranteed.

You could also use a paint pen matching your valour interior, bro........

Ha ha ha ha...you guys serious???

The ones on my friend's car look like semi slick...I'm not just after the paint - I want the added performance too...

But if it's just paint for show then you guys got me...I'm laughing at myself!!

[Spunky Munky]

....No

they have a special layer of pure white rubber under the black layer, these white rubber trees are found only in the deepest depths of the Amazon. After the tyre is made they are sent to Tibetan Monks who carefully hand carve the outer black layer of rubber until the white layer is exposed, hence the white lettering you see.

People like you are the reason so much of the jungle is being cut down, which is causing global warming. There used to be White rubber tree's along the East coast of Africa, but they were all destroyed.

Ok fellas. A simple "no" would have been sufficient shhesshh...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

You can buy R comps, they are road legal, but the dont have the brand name painted on them.

My opinion the best R comps for track work Yokohama A050 or Bridgestone RE55.

Expect to only get about 5000kms out of them, they are also noisy and not very good in the wet
