BL01 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hi Steve, did you just buy that 34 off someone from the forums? Thought i saw it for sale a while ago. Anyway, what's your price range? Different people will have different opinions on which tyres to get. Really depends on how much you want to spend. 19s might be a bit pricier.

Bass Junky Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Wanlis are ordinary. But, surprisingly, took me to a 1.9 60ft a the drags. They are CRAP in the wet. A whole bunch of us run Hankook K104 They are very reasonably priced, wear extremely well, and are very grippy. Then there's the new Hankook K107 S1Evos or something. Grippier again. at the size you have, all tyres are going to be expensive.

Mean_R34 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) Yeah I found Hankook (Ventus) K104's to be cheap and good. They are silca rubber, which is supposed to mean a longer wearing boot. I had 235/40/18's and 265/35/18 and got them supplied/fitted/balanced & 4 wheel alingment for $960 new! Not bad in average wet/dry driving, but like all street treads, they heat up on the track and get slippery.

R31Nismoid Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 for 19's... if you are spending $230 a tyre its going to be a death trap. I put sumitomo's on my 18's @ $300 each... possibly the worst tyre i have ever used. Useless in the dry, dangerous in the wet. I should have gone a more expensive option If you have 19's, expect to be paying around $400 for tyres. Considering they are posibly the most important thing on a car, i wouldnt be looking to skimp Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122926-19-tyres-which-are-the-best-r34/#findComment-2271352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

adznight Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I used Pirelli P-Zero Nero and they were ACE! It's going to hurt your wallet getting decent rubber for 19's, it hurt for my 18's but it's a must. That's the pirce you pay for large rims. You'll kill yourself with sh|t rubber in a Skyline. I'm using Hankook K107's on the rear at the moment. They do the job but no where near as good as the P-zero.
