Hmm, well when they are on the track & if used properly (ie not nannad around) the treadface temperature should be well into the 70 degree mark & sometimes into the 80's. It is difficult to get anywhere near this when storing the tyres, wherever that may be. So just be aware using them on a track day will for example heat cycle them half a dozen times. Keeping them stored won't cycle them at all.

Bottom line: tyres are for using, not storing. If you can get more than a season out of them you really should get out more. :D

Basically, I've done 4 track days on my tyres, one being a hill climb, and now the car is off the road. So they have meat on them still, and I don't want them to go off with not much use. I'd be using them if I could, believe me!

lol bring them to my house i store them in my room keep them as my baby's and i charge you $100 for 2 month for storage cost.....

TRUST ME I WILL NOT USE THEM :closedeyes::):D:ph34r:

HEHEHEHHEHE

I just bought some tyres yesterday that i needed to be stored.

I dont have a place that will stay cool which is unfortunate, i cling wrapped them and put them in the shed. Its a shame it gets hot in there. So if you cant find a large plastic bag to keep them in, use cling wrap :thumbsup:

yeah for sure. the grip will be about the same as the quality street tyres but the stiff sidewalls make a big difference to handling and driver confidence.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
