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.

[Tough R34]

yeah the silver 34 from qld, im the proud owner!!!

ive been checking ebay and they're around 300-350 each tyre depending on brands. i dont really want to spend big, but i dont want shit either. ill spend if i have to type thing

i just found some elcheapo's on ebay $235 each 245-35-19 WANLI s-1099

anyone heard of em?? in geelong area.

[Bass Junky]

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.

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.

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

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.

Yokohama AVS102 or 103. Not a bad tyre and cheap.

[Tough R34]
