Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Pretty much. Sold mine recently for a set of AD08'S. So much nicer.

yeah but those tyres like comparing a fast Honda Civic to a C63 AMG lol

[gtr jet]

Yeah I know. For we tyres I found the Federals to be better but it's been a long time since I've used them.

ive got fed 595 ss in a 185 50 14. they just are not grippy enough. great round the corners, but shit. the car is light. its only 170kw, i cannot get traction.

I have the FED 595's on my Skyline

255/35/18 - Rear

225/35/18 - Front

They are pretty good wet and dry......but then I came from Falken's, so anything is better these days. I miss the 90's when Falken wasn't pretty much a retread company! They kept my RX2 on the road at 200+ KPH back in 96!

What Falken tyres? Ziex is rubbish, but their Azenis are pretty good (I run FK452 all round on the GT-R, pretty grippy for a street tyre). Apparently their FK453 are good as well.

maybe im not getting enough heat into them to activate the rubber...... oh well. see how we go.

Just did a track day at lake side in my 34 Gtt

Had federal 595 supersteel tyres fitted all round

225/40/17

The track was wet alot of the day and the federals were absolutely ridiculously insanely rubbish!

I got about 3 laps in when there was a dry racing line and they were still horrible.

Wet traction 1/10

Dry traction 4/10

V/f/m : 5/10

They're not a track day tyre. They are not that good in the rain, then I had them, I had to warm them up in the wet on the roads (very annoying). There are better tyres out there for the price (e.g. KU31).

I know they were just fitted to the car when i picked it up. Only had it for 3 days didnt get a chance to get another set of rims and put some semi's on them.

[niZmO_Man]

Back in the day the SS595 were good for the price. Not so much these days.

[Plattsy]

100 bucks a tyre for my little micra. they are decent. however im hoping for more from them when it warms up abit....

i would have gone for ku31s tho, but i cant get them in 184 55 14 in melbourne!

Nitto NT-01

Treadwear 100

255/40/17 at $240 per side fitted (Week 48, 2013)

Dry: 9/10
Wet : N/A - have not tested
Value for $: 7/10

Installed these on the rear of my shit box, normally when I stomp on the accelerator in 2nd tyres will spin and car would just smash the rev limiter I run soft rear springs with a 2-way KAAZ diff, but with the Nitto NT-01 the car would just bite and rocket forward without the slightest hint of wheel spin.

With the Nitto INVO and Federal RS-R, the car would move nowhere just spin tyres and smash the limiter.

With the Nitto NT-01, it's transformed the traction issue into nothing.

Fixed It is what happened when i finally got grip anyway lol

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

hahahhaha I must say, when I shift really hard into gear all I get is this massive THUD... I feel sorry for the entire drive train LOL

Oh that is asking for failure! Post pics after the big bang

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

hahahaha...

well I thought, if I get coilovers it won't squat as much and might actually break traction LOL

[sweefu]

I'm buying a set of tyres for daily use + I will use them for fun driving until I buy a set of semi slicks

Tossing up between Toyo Proxes T1 Sport or Michelin Pilot Sport 3 in 235/45r17

Toyo = $620/set fitted

Michelin = $628/set fitted

Call it same price. What to choose?!

Toyo

Michelin

[AMR33]

Recently got a set of Yokohama AD08R 235/40 on my R33. The car will be used mainly on track but occasionally on the orad also which is why I opted for them before getting R Compe tires. So far, on the road, they are quite grippy and not very noisy. Will update once I take it to the track
