Just buy the very best your budget will afford.

Michelin will be good, so will Pirelli, dunlops, continentals, then you have the next tier down, like kuhmos, hankooks, etc, before you reach bottom ling long china spec which really don't rate a mention if your after a decent tyre.

what size you need?

I have some Hankook Evo V12 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 and they are amazing. Brand new, i had a set in 19" and wow the thread life, grip, wet grip were amazing. Almost as good as Michelin Power Sport 2 which are 2x price.

Where do you live? I have the set for $800 obo

I'm growing a little tired of our Australian market not considering our tyre sizes to be within their minimum volume requirements. Given the specifications from Nissan, it'd be nice to have the correct spec tyres to suit. It's actually tempting to consider buying them from the US.

My continental tyres corner at a higher G in the wet than the hankook evos can manage in the dry on the same car....

Thanks for the link, interesting.

I now run the RS3 and my mate uses them in the Time attack series, as do alot of other competitors.

If they can handle springbrook and mt nebo they can handle daily driving for a sedan !

My point was when comparing to other tyres in the same price bracket they are amazing tyres.

Even the RS3s aren't a real semi slick. They are in the same boat as federal RSR, KU 36, to some extent AD08. They are a ling long (see what I did there....:P) way off real semis like Z221, A048, R888/NT01.

Anyway, too off topic now, buy the best your budget will allow!

Yes off topic haha, my point was for the money the hankook evo v12 are alot of tyre for the price. Esp if u pick them up new for what im selling !!! :)

PN-Mad, i agree most of the time with what you say and always hope you will help me with my turbo issues ! but no way RSR, KU36 or 888 are close to RS3, they are destroyed on the track. RS3 are on par with AD08, Z221, i dont know what A048 is, RE11 is the only one i would say outperforms them in that group. I wasted hours and hours reading experiance based racing threads on the use of RS3 Vs Z221 Vs RE11 Vs AD08. That friend i was talking about, 58sec lake side Evo 8 swears by RS3, alot of the guys in time attack use them. But back to topic, let me know if i can help out with the tyres ! :)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
