Does anyone have Marshall tyres? Are they any good at all?

My local tyre guy thinks they are a decent tyre. I'm looking at 235/45/17 for R32 GTR.

Just want to know if anyone uses/has used them, and what they think.

i have 255/45/17s on my R32 GTR. I wouldnt say theyre a true performance tyre but they are quite durable. Worth a try if durability is what you're looking for

I've had tyre dealers try telling me that Falken Ziex tyres were decent sports tyres. Needless to say I was heading out the door before he could start the next sentence, since it wasn't April 1.

They would probably tell you Wanli & Nankang are better then Bridgestone & Michelin too!

There is that. And also he could promote them on the basis that they wear quickly and I'll be back for new ones soon=another sale. On the other hand, if they are crappy, I may not go back to him, and might tell my friends he is an a-hole who doesn't know tyres.

Now that the tyre dealer psychology/ethics discussion is out of the way, does anyone else actually have Marshalls, and what are they like?

I have them in 245/45 R17 on my GTR, they were put on for compliance. They are currently on my 33 GTST sedan. Comparing them to the Yoko ES100s I have on the GTR now is like chalk and cheese, but at half the price that is to be expected. However, I have found them pretty good in the dry, not high grip levels but very predictable.....in the wet, well I wouid suggest being alot more careful..... And as said above, they do wear well.....

I've been recommended Marshalls as well by a reputable tyre dealer. He had them on his XR6T and a lot of reps use them for sheer durability.

I'd be sticking the hardest, nastiest, cheapest craphouse tyres on my fleet vehicles too.

But then if I was managing company vehicles being driven by people who don't own the cars or pay for upkeep, its TCO rather than performance that matters.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
