Tyres To Suit 500hp Street Car

[Driver]

Hi all,

Its time to replace my tyres on my r34 gt-t.

At the monent i have the falken 451's and they're ok.

Just want to know what else is out there, i want GOOD tyres that are going to be able to cope with alot of power for a street car thats used for daily driving in wet and dry..

I dont bother ringing tyre shops as they try to sell me $140 family car tyres.

I want some professional advice please.

Thanks in advance.

for that much power

falken rt-615

toyo r1r

federal 595rs

there is not much info on those tyres in that thread.

Yokohama Advan V102, excellent tyre in the dry and wet. Blown away with the amount of grip available.

Highly recommended.

When you say cope, is that traction or length of life?

Its not quite clear

With big power, you wont have traction regardless of what tyre you use.

It more comes down to the driver how long and how fast the tyres will die.

You can fork out serious coin for big brand name tyres.

But if you cant restrain the right foot then you'll be due for a new set in under 6 months

what size tyres and wheels do you have fitted?

Maybe head down to the Ferrari dealer and see what they put on the back of a 575.

That is a 500hp road car with road tyres, then just buy a set of whatever it uses.

I could only find the size which is 295/35ZR18 so hopefully they can fit.

i remember the standard tyres as being bridgestone s02. this was from a uk (EVO) magazine, so they may be different on a local model.

They are normally fitted with perelli P ones or get a semi slick street tyre
