What tyres are you running?

[JXL]

my Kuhmo Ecsta supras didn't last long on my skyline, rears wore very fast and thats not burnouts and stuff, now the GT radials i have on them are rock hard so wet gripping is like oh crap.

JiMih --- you same guy from Imrans nedlands party??

[SeriesIIGTST]

I currently have Kumho Ecsta 712's on my car and there is NO WAY i'm ever having them again. For the money, it's a decent enuf tyre but it's a poor man's performance tyre. Why compromise after spending so much money in other areas of your car?

For me, my power severely outweighed the 712's grip so i've stepped up to see what the toyo can do.

ive got Kumho 711 on the back atm, and 712 on the front

the 711's are utter shit..

712's have done very well on the front, and ive seen them do well on the back of a similar spec R33 to mine..

and for the price im getting them for, theres no real harm in trying em

[JH32]

JXL - yeah dude ... Imran's in the UK now ! Or Geneva, or somewhere

mitchy_ - may as well try them and see how they go. I thought they were good and others have thought they were bad ....

I bought 4x Sava Intensa for for $560. 235/45/17 shit tyre really but it doesnt wear as quick as the other tend to and cheap cheap.

Cars got enuf traction with them

Nangkang NSII................. they spin when you want them to and grip like hubba bubba to a dunlop volley every other time.... i got the 265 18' ones and they are great. Plenty of smoke, plenty of art and they last...

Ill let you all in on a secret........ phone order from tempe tyres (www.tempetyres.com.au) in syd

17" 235 around 110 ea!!!! (85 delivery with in 4-5 days).

I paid 220 for my 265 18s and 180 for the 235 fronts.

I got a few guys together and they made it cheaper plus its still only 85 freight.

Sherriff,  

I just put a pair of the Ventus 104's on the 32 a month ago.. pretty DAMN GOOD tyre for the price.

I havent tried the 104's in the wet yet.  

Shaun

gave the Ventus 104's a run today in the wet and they were pretty good, no loss of traction accelerating fully through second in a straight line. Most of the other tyres ive used break loose at around 5500 RPM or so.

car has 210wrhp.

I have Toyo Trampios on the back only 225/50s but they still grip and cos they are hard wearing and have a good sidewall for cornering. Then I have pirellis on the front

SeriesIIGTST : Where is the exact location of Booragoon Tyre Service? I live near there and I wanna get a set of T1R as well

[SeriesIIGTST]

if you head down marmion road towards fremantle from garden city, turn right onto Norma road and they are literally 5m up the road on the left hand side, next shop past the mower/garden store on the corner.

i've got Potenza G3 (235) on the rear, awsome tyre.

very grippy in the dry but lacks grip in the wet (told they arnt the best wet tyre)

Cost me i think $500-$550 for just the rear

[Topaz]

Had Fulda Extremo's fitted a few months ago

235/45ZR17

paid about $197 each I think, my dad got them for a discount from $250 each I think

[caminperth]

Just got myself some Toyo TR1 255x40x17 for the rears and BOY are they sticky.

Though then again - maybe it was just my last set of bricks I had on there were so bald and hardened...
