R33 Gtr Tyre Reccomendations?

[RB335]

Hi Guys.

Well the time has come to get some Tyres for my R33 GTR. So hard to chose with so many brands out there and so many differing opinions, so I thought I'd ask what experiences you guys have had on the specific car instead of reading online review sites like Tyrerack.

Basically It's a R33 GTR and I intend to have a max of 400hp. Coming from having RWD Cars I know you need very grippy tyres on a 400hp RWD, but what's the go with AWD, I understand you have much more traction as all 4 Tyres can be under power at times.

I was thinking about RE002, or Conti Sport Contact 5 or Nitto Invos. I see things like Achillies ATR's and Federal SS-595 are on cheaper side they seem to sell really good but I'm thinking of going something more of the main stream brands. Budgeting perhaps $1000 for set give or take.

Open to any opinions, interested about straight line acceleration grip and handling also around corners, daily non track car it will be for the most. I'd really prefer something that can grip all gears without lighting up in wheelspin, hard decision to make 1st time owning a GTR and coming from RWD Cars.

It has stock R33 GTR wheels so size i'm going for is 245/45/17

Cheers.

Hankook RS-3. About $270 ea in that size.

Most "real" brand tyres are more than your budget territory by a fair margin.

Federal rsr

Nitto nt05's

They will be in your budget

I have rsr's with 340kw. Grips good

Seen some good deals on Yokohama AD08R's recently if you want to extend the budget a bit.

Don't bother with Re002's. Sidewalls aren't stiff enough for a heavyish car like a GTR. I used my brand new ones for 5000kms then replaced them with AD08r's.

I use RE002's and they are the best tyre i have used. In saying that I have not used alot of mid/high end performance tyre's.

I have no problem with them running 500 WHP
