What Tyre Size?

[zebra]

Why are you looking at RS-R's?

Are you doing track days/Hill Climbs/ Drag racing?

if not, than I wouldnt reccomend a semi-semi slick

you will chew them out in no time

[Deziner]

No. Not doing track days etc. in fact its a daily driver. So I am not lookong for semi's.

220-240kw R33 gtr, daily driver.

On the same car with 266kw of power I found the standard 595's too hard and slippery in the wet. The 595 RS-R's were actually far grippier in dry or wet even when cold and lasted for a good length of time.

595 if you have no money, 595 RS-R for safer driving (they are not real semi slicks).

But hey upgrading from the base 595's to the RS-R's shows you a huge difference.

That's because the regular 595s are just a cheap tyre nothing more

I love pirelli p7s but you are looking at 200 a tyre or Goodyear f1 asymetric's for similar

[RS4-S]

Pirelli p7s are abit soft in the sidewall for my liking. Falkens have good grip, performance and cost effective.

Fk452 = best wet tyre ever, abit noisey like 595, directional, new fk453 out now to replace it.

Ze912 = good allround asymmetric tyre

Or for more coin go the Bridgestone potenza range re001, re002, s001. Very rigid tyre an very quiet.

I believe I'm running RE-001 and they're quite decent in both wet and dry. Can't really comment on their ability to hold traction under power in the dry any more since I think they dried out a bit too much in the months my car didn't move and was outside

[GTRKat]

I had the same RE001s before Troy bought them and I always liked them - they did me well for around 350-400kw atw and I did some pretty hard launching on them too.

Only sold cause I needed bigger wheels to clear my brakes. I went OTT and got semi slicks... Super impractical but f**king fun!

[a20089]

asymmetric tyre is a good idea as you can change the tyres around easier.

Or go to ntw talk to mick and then take your car/wheels round the corner to jax fyshwick where mick takes his cars haha

Also I got 235/40R18 stretched onto my 9.5"s (widest legally permissible for a 235/40), tyres cheap as and it's the look I'm after.

do you have a picture of the stretched tyre?

[Scar]

Saw some Bridgestone S001's for decent price at Costco today! Also pilot sport 3s if u want decent-er life :-)

[Deziner]

I was thinking of checking out Cosco. I am not a member but a mate is.

What were the tyre prices like at Costco?

[GTRKat]

I heard that Costco were ok for smaller family kinda deals but when you started getting into the territory we are looking at they aren't that cheap.

[a20089]

Worth looking at prices at costo, but get a real tyre shop to match the price (they can and do a better job).

[Deziner]

Will do. Thanks for the advice.

[RS4-S]

do you have a picture of the stretched tyre?

[Manuel Kasko]

Aka they look sexayy

[ishyz34]

Looks extremely tough! Stretched nicely

[Trozzle]

f**k I love that colour green man

[Mitcho_7]

235/40 on a 9.5" is a nice amount of stretch IMO, doesn't look stupid or anything

[zebra]

I think 235's look stupid on an 8.5" rim

I hate stretch
