What car are these for?... the proper fitment for something like an R33 Skyline is 205/55x15 so the upsize would be 225/50x16 - all of the tyres you listed are fairly good and around $200 to $225 would be about right for a good tyre in that size.

yeah its for a r33 skyline ... and i have standard rims ... thanks for the advice ... i'm looking closely at the toyas and the goodyear ... those bridgestones seem a little overpriced which i'd rather spend on doing my brakes and new springs. Is there any other brands which you guys recommend?

Thanks

Id go the bridgestones, try pricing some Grid III's, or S03's if you can, try and get some S02's, they are an excellent tyre. WELL worth the money

Have a look for Dunlops as well, they make a great tyre.

If you plan on ripping them up, and not using them for what they were deisgned for, get some 2nd hand crappers to take your anger out on.

bridgestone seem to be the most expensive right now for what i'm going to use it for ... this is for my everyday driving ... i just want it to be as safe as possible as i've had a few mishaps already .... seems like a choice between toyos and yokohamas right now ...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
