Thanks for the reply mate, what are some decent tyres that are good value?

This depends on what you use for car for, weather conditions and how long you expect a tyre to last

Remember that the only thing stopping you from crashing is that small patch of tread

Compromises are sometimes made

Some high performance tyres are rubbish in the wet

I dunno. It's been >10 years since I've tried to put tyres onto a stock 32 wheel. In my size, 235/45-17, I am using Hankook RS4, which are a very decent street tyre that only need to be warmed up a little bit to come good. If I wasn't using those, I'd be using Yoko AD08R, which are still my favourite tyre of the last 10 years. If I was rich I'd probably be using Michi PS4S.

If you're not fussy, then the Bridgestone RE003 is the easy choice. I wasn't impressed by them though. Very indifferent tyre with no outstanding points of performance at all.

Jax do Hankook RS4 for $215 a corner in 225/50 16

I like them, in the dry

I've run them on my MX5, my 86, and they are currently on my SS

I like them alot more than the RE003 in the dry

Just remember 225/50/R16 tyres have MASSIVE sidewalls. I have a mate with a BMW who ended up having to go to AD08R because they make a 225/45/R16 which was way more suitable.

Good tyre though, have had them everywhere, and good for anything on the road and journeyman track days!

Your maths and GTSBoy's maths is right. I just have PTSD about those tyres fitting on another car. Given we're talking about skylines and skyline stock rims on a skyline and stock skyline rolling diamater this is all hunky dory good to go.

Still look like 4 drag tyres though 😛

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
