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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
