gt radials has anyone got them on there skyline, I am asking as I need knew tyres the old ones are shagged.

Gt Radial Champiro HPZ 40, 45 & 55 Series.

I need 235/40/18's all round.

how do they perform and do you get good wear out of them?

also how much did u pay 4 them.

cheers:D :P :P

i had them on my old R31....

They are a medium compound... they are probably crap on an R33 turbo, as you will get lots of wheelspin, and bad traction in the wet.... When I got them, they were about $90 eack for 15 inch..

Unless they come out in different compounds, dont bother, I didnt like them at all.

If you want quality tyres, do a search to see what others have said. If you want good tyres at low price, try find some second hand tyres...

If you want new for cheap, you wont get anything crash hot, especially at 18"!!!!

Yeah, its always hard to trust a tyre dealer's recommendation, they are most interested in clearing whatever stock they have around the workshop.

You could do a search, there's been quite a few threads on tyres. I think the most commonly recommended, good performing tyres are Falken GRBs/fk451s, and Dunlop FM901s.

these are the tyres i bought new for my old n/a v6 vs calais and they arked up like mad on that so on a gts-t etc they are a lot of fun i now use them for skids/drags/drifting.....thats all they are good for.......no traction at all......

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
