So the time has come to get some new rubber on the R34 GT-T.

Ive done some looking around and wondering if anyone has had experiences with these Tyres, good or bad.

Also what about these prices?

Good or Bad?

245*40*17

Bridgestone S03 - $370

Kumho KU19 - $268

Yokohama AVS V102 (or AVS100) - $400

Now the car is mostly used as a daily driver and does not get anything in the way of track work.

Im leaning towards the Kumho because of the cost.

Best combination from expeirence:

Rear: Falken RT215 semislicks

Front: Falken ST115

The RTs are about $320 a tyre for 17" 245-55

STs are a fair bit cheaper

If the car is just a general daily driver with not much hard driving then just about any descent tyre will be fine

I have recently installed Yoko AVS to my GTST - reason that these were the closest spec rubber to a semi-slick however should still get around 30000km instead of 10-15k with semis. They also have a solid tread pattern which flexes less on the track - 235 45 17 & 255 40 17 cost around $370/tyre. I use everyday for business but aso get to the track every six weeks or so. Did have falken azenis which I found to be shitful in the wet. I very happy with the results especially in the wet - but really need a dedicated track trye for the track

Might be worth trying:

Hankook Ventus K104 (not aval in NSW but are in Vic through Donnellan's The Tyremen, go figure...) there are good reports on the forums about these.

Sumitomo HTRZ-02 (very underated apparently).

Price for 255/40/17 was about 250/320 repectively.

Good luck

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
