i have them, there is a review on here somewhere, do a search for it.

i've done 3 track days and nearly 15,000ks on them and they are still fine, maybe 50% tread.. hard to tell... road noise is fine. Good road tyre. i have 255/35/18's

I run 235/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears. Currently have about 15-18,000kms on them and they seem to be holding up fine, heaps of tread left. No track time on them yet but for the money they are pretty good. No louder than any other street tyre I've used in the past.

Just bought four 235/45 17" Hankook K104s, since everyone is raving on about this particular tyre.

I havn't yet tested them in wet conditions but they seem like a very comfortable drive, and arn't noisy.

Got them from Jax, rang a few different stores and they all varied in prices! some had the tyres for $30 more!.. Got them for $169 each after some negotiations biggrin.gif also did my wheel alightment front and rears.

Seems like a good tyre so far.. they are rated Y grade and have silica compound too!

When i bought my hankook ventus k104s the guy at the shop said hankook had been doing a lot of work to improve their sidewalls.

Mine have lasted 20000 kms very well so far, and ive hit many a pot hole.

ive heard tyre places that sell Khumo's say they are crap! but ive driven on the ecsta supra's and the k104's, and i have to say that for the price of these tryes, both brands perform extremely well, and by no means are you going to jump up and say "these are cheap tyres!" if someone handed you the keys to the car without telling you what tyres are on the car.

Hi Guys,

I have heard great reviews on this tyre and thinking of getting this sometime this week.

I do have a few questions tho. Sorry to steal the thread!

I have 18x8.5 for fronts, 18x10 for rears. For rears, i was thinking of getting 265/35/18. But for the fronts should i get the same sidewall size ie should i get xxx/35/18.

Would having a different sidewall at the front and back, ie, fronts being 40 and rear being 35, make a big difference esp to the tacho, mileage and handling?

The two sizes in 35s i was looking at were, 225 and 245. And in 40, there is 235/40/18.

What would you guys recommend? Would it make a big difference in terms of steering between 225 and 245?

Thanks heaps in advance guys,

:)

I recommend 235/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 this makes the overall diameter of the wheels the same therefore your speedo will remain unchanged and your steering is not too heavy. It is the perfect tyre setup for a skyline.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
