1JZ.747 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 i was going to go to front runners for weight and better rolling than wide radials, but ANDRA said cant run ply fronts with radial backs have to run cheese cutter radials up front with radial rears. any way,i have put the idea on the back burner for a while.

DoughBoy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 A local shop refused to sell the Nankang front runners due to the ~100km/h (?) speed rating on them, alot of those antique car tyres aren't rated to much - hence my questions.

2rismo Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 LOL @ Nankangs - Soooooo many of the cars at WSID run them! Have emailed the supplier about load/speed ratings - Doubt it will be an issue if it isn't a prob for an all-steel blown bbc '34 5-window running 9.0's.

Aren't a few quick ones above 3500lbs? dont think to many gtr will be using front runners some how. i call a GTR a GTR 3500 pounds, maybe theos but i dont think marks or pauls are that heavy. as for kier's GTR i havent really been that close to see the extent of his weight reduction, i would say kier would have done a fair bit of weight reduction but his sons "street GTR" is full weight i believe. in street trim add another 180 kilos of trim and bits and pieces to my lard arse.
