Hey mate if its the price ur worried about, go for the hankook k104's. Ive got them on my car at the moment. Much better than the falkens and around the same price. Do a search on the forums for them and u see all the good feedback on them.

N e ways im not sure what GT is so out of Nankang and Falken, id go for the falkens. Also if they are the ze326 ive heard a lot of bad things about em

Which model in each brand? most brands have good and bad tyres......

:werd:

You can't just evaluate brands, you need to be specific. For instance, anything in the Falken Ziex range is generally thought of as rubbish, whilst their FKs are quite well regarded (for the money).

I understand there are better tyres on the market... but i'd like opinions out of these three..... if that's ok...:rofl:

those three brands collectively probably make around 50 different types of passenger car tyre. not to go into fully slick tryres etc. so unless you can narrow it down a bit mate, no-one is going to be able to answer your question.

The reason i posted this in the first place is because, well... i'm clueless when it comes to which one i should buy therefore i figured those who have tried the different ones would know by experience... i cannot trust wot the guy trying to make a buck out of me is gonna tell me so i ask.. obviously out of the fifty or so models of tyres there are only a select few that will suit an 18" rim... i guess i took for granted that you'd understand that...and BTW, a few have already answered my question... or at least made things a bit clearer

Cheers champ!

You know there's a whole tyres forum right?

What? And show some initiative by doing the research yourself, instead of just asking uselessly broad questions and expecting people to give you an answer on a silver platter?

Nah!

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
