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.

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

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

hi guys

i just got a qoute for those Hankooks k104 $340 each tyre

275.30.19 rear

235.35.19 front

is this a good price?????

tyrepower have been trying to sell me "Marshalls" for $300 each tyre

265.30.19 rear

235.35.19 front

Anyone heard of these "Marshalls"???????

Are they Any good???

need some advice PLEASE.

steve

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.

ive gone for the Hankooks K104

its booked in for the morning. $335 per tyre Fitted & Balanced.

im getting ready for the SAU cruise tonight.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
