R33 GTR Tyre Choice (stock rims)

[Penfold]

Hiya,

Looks like its time to bite the bullett and get some new tyres.

Basically I'm looking for something in the range of 245-265 - I guess whatever will fit on the standard R33 GTR rims.

Also, if anyone knows some good tyre places in Brisbane that would be great too.

I got some Falken Azensis ST115 last time but I guess I'd give anything a go.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Penfold

What do you want them for? how many ks do you want out of them vs grip? semi-slicks or just normal street rubber?

Normal street rubber - its a daily driver but obviously something not to shabby. I think i paid $350 per tyre last time. I don't thrash the car much at all but las time I think I got aboug 10000km out of em. The back two seem to wear twice as fast as the front two. What size tyres will fit in the stock 17inch rims?

Try the Yokohama ES100's they are unbelievable in the wet and dry.

With your tyre wear, you should get more than that outta them. That's crap. I have found that if you grandma your skyline, your tyres wear shit. If you Skaife your skyline then you get awesome wear.

Try rotating them more often and get your Wheel alignment checked more often. Make sure they use a four head laser aligner not some crappy string line thing.

Nathan Barnett at Bob Jane coorparoo will look after you if you say "Daniel from Midas said you'd look after me".....That pretty much goes for anyone really. lol.

what camber settings are you running?..

stock 17" rims are 17x9... standard tyre size is 245/45/17 you can fit 265's on if you like, depends what you want....
