Anyone having traction problems with their rear wheels??!! Or just for uber cool factor :)

Selling a set of 265/35/R18 Toyo R888. Road legal semi slicks. As you can tell by the pictures, there's plenty of rubber left on these tyres. No flat spots and (minimal) even wear. These are too wide for my car so ill need something narrower.

For pics please refer to-

If they fit under my gaurds I'd definitely keep them... Even though they are more than an overkill ;)

A heap of people have been asking similar questions so thought I'd post them here for future reference-

Tyre were made late 2008. Off the top of my head around 40th week.

I'm more than happy to ship interstate. You can research your own freight if you like. My postcode in SA is 5094 (Gepps Cross) Below are the dimensions-

63 (w) x 63 (h) x 28 (w) all in cm. 11 kg each.

approx costs-

Bris- $130

Syd- $90

You might be able to get a cheaper quote

I've never actually used these tyres because they came with a set of wheels that I bought.

Previous owner has followed correct storage procedures. I.e stored off the rim when not use and indoors etc

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
