C34 S2 Tyre Load Rating

[OMY31T]

hi guys, im having issues with my cheap an nasty tyres haha. my car has a fair bit of low, and quite a bit of camber, and ive busted the internal sidewall on my front left. seeing as though the car is going into for more power, i figured its time to throw on a decent set of tyres.

my current ones are load rated @ 91Y which im guessing is to low for the stageas weight.

the tyres im looking at are 93W (extra load rated) made by bridgestone but under another name?? and just general road tyres, also have a nice heavy sidewall, will these be ok with the weight of the stag, im also raising the car back up because its a bit ridiculously low and the camber wear is crazy lol.

cheers.

93w will be fine. My car came from japan with bfg tyres that were rated 93y, now have federals rated 93W .

The numbers are the load rating and the letter is speed rating, w being 270kph & 93 being 650kg per tyre

i figure you should probably invest in a camber kit and a wheel alignment first - wind it right out then raise the car untill the camber is realistic

yeah i though 93w would be ok, the other i think are rated at only 420kg which is probably a bit under. the camber is not to bad really, ive had much more camber on other cars without an issue, but the stagea is obviously quite alot heavier. what camber arms fit into the c34??\

cheers.

595's are good bang for buck! Have them on my 260rs, grippy as hell

How much camber do you have? You might get there with just the eccentric bushes. I have R33 Cusco camber arms at the front and some no -name ones (R33) at the rear. Cheap and nasty tyres are never a good idea on any car at any time.

yeah i would buy cusco if anything, theres a set up for grabs atm on ebay for $300... i might try to get a shot of the camber... i dont thinl its alot, i had alot more on my HR31 Passage GT and never had an issue... apart from going through tyres like a bitch haha.

I habe toyo proxes for sale...

my local bridgestone tyre center has a set of Federal 595's in a 245/40/19 that were a trade in... 85% tread even wear for $100 a tyre... worth it?.. the only downside is 40 profile in a 245 puts me 6.52% larger in diameter. im not worried about the speedo so much, its more the effect on braking.

stratch that, did some measurements, the tyre diameter is to big to get under my guards

ended up buying some falken FK-452's

Falkens are good tyres from what i've experienced in the past! Nice n grippy wear a lil quicker but
