Hey all, for my 32 gtst which has 32 gtr wheels.

I will be using kumho KU31 tires as I love them and an get them cheap,

My question is what is the original tire size (car is not with me) and what do you recommend for tire size for street use.

The car is lowered but not to any point of needing lower profiles or having any former issues obviously.

Do I stay with stock sizes or change them a little.

The ony thing that will change what I will buy is sometimes obscure size Crete obscure prices, I doubt that will be the case with 16s though?

I was bored and had a look around, 225/50 16 seem to be the most common size for 16" rims between 6" and 8" for street tyres, I'm using Hankook ventus Rs3 atm and they are the best street tyre I've ever used, and at $116 a tyre you cannot go wrong.

Stock GTR setup, from memory:

Tyre size: 225 / 50 / 16

Wheel size: 16 x 8 +30

Stock tyre size will do you fine for stock GTR wheels.

Not till you want to run a set of 17 x 9 / 17 x 9.5 or 18 x 10 etc. wheels and going more low.

Then there will be other tyre sizes to look at.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
