be interested in seeing opinions too.

atm i have a set of 18x8.5 rims going on the skyline and i am choosing between

Toyo Trampio TPG 245/40/18 all round

Nankang 245/40/18 all round

or Kumho Ecsta Supra 245/40/18 all round

I have always liked the Toyo brand but was told that the TPG's aren't good.

i have a friend who has Nankangs and says they are shit in the dry but good in the wet.

I have heard the Kumho's are quite crap.

all from people that don't stock the other tyres etc so be interested to hear from people that have had them already on there car.

all three are directional tyres which is why i am getting the same size all round, was going to get 265 at the back.

Nankang suck.

Kumho Ecsta Supra are apparently a AA grip rated tyre, but I hate them so much, I think they are just soft, not a good gripping tyre.

Then I have brigs GIIIs on the rear, they seem ok, they have worn better than the Kumos, and seem to grip ok once they have a bit of heat in them.

However Im not writing off the kumos yet, Im going to adjust the front suspension settings and see how I go from there, but first impressions (about 6-9months now) I dont like them.

I have Dunlop SP 9000's 255's at the rear, 235's at the front, $400 a corner

In the wet they are good, in the dry they are shit, the soft compound burns up so easily.

I use to have S03's, they are the best by far, but are $450 a corner

i have the Khumos on the rear of my car 255 40 17 and i got them new about 2 months or so ago and they are already wearing a fair bit ah. Ive been driving a fair bit and there wearing heaps quicker then they should be i rekon.

Ive heard the Toyos are good. Pretty expensive thuogh arnt they?

I used to have Nangkangs on my silvia and i didnt really like them that much. Wore pretty well but yer the grip was pretty good but not as good as others ive had

As a matter of curiosity are you guys over there allowed to run the likes of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and Pirelli P-Zero Corsas on the road, legally? Over here in the UK we are, just wondering, your car mod laws seem a lot tougher over there... :D

As long as it doesn't say "For Racing Use Only" we are OK. Usual load and speed ratings apply of course.:D

The best tyre I've used on the street is the Falken Azenis ( Pure Sport not Silent Sport ). I say that with respect to the cost ( quite good if you shop around compared to the other DOT aproved rubber out there ) they don't wear out too fast if you treat em right and great all around grip in IMHO. You can get a lot worse and you can get better but bang for your buck..........AZENIS are my choice. My 2 cents. :D

Ill never buy anything but Falken RT215 Semislicks for the rear

since i got them in 245/45/17 along with whiteline handling kit and camber kit etc i have a really hard time loosing traction. Even in the rain they grip very well.

The wear is great, ive had them for about a year now and there is still heaps of tread left.

Awesome tyres, ide love to think how a GTR would handle with these on all corners.

and for $320 a tyre, definately the best

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
