[Guest terrance]

aaaaahhhhhhhhh! DRIVER!! boy is my face red. i have a good excuse tho. beers after work with workmates. ah, f*ck it, im just retarded. still, mis-spelling "driver" as "driven" isnt as bad as confusing "then" with "than":D

and no offense taken on the comment on mum's eggs.

My tyres are simex 235's also [on my 34] and I have no complaints whatsoever regarding traction...

A friend had Grid II's and lost it in the wet with his r33...

If you must spend heaps of cash then ask the right questions to a tyre dealer. You dont want to spend all that money to find out you didnt get what you wanted - which in this case is clearly "traction in the wet".

Good point.

I would recommend you (well anyone looking at new tyres/wheels) go to Mag Wheel & Tyre on Chiffley Drv in Preston. The guy there will give you a no bullshit, straight up answer to your questions. I went in asking for S02 Bridgestones (255/45/18 @ $600 each) and he told me the Hankook 104s match them in every aspect for $330 each (265/40/18). I dont think he's gonna rip you off.

[NismoR34]

I know 1 of the guys down there [MW&T], indeed they are genuine.

Tyres, what about supspension set up? if your shocks are gone doesnt matter what tyre you 'vve got doesn' t it?

[R31Nismoid]

mm... terrance you whore.

anyway.

i mgot simex 215's on mine...

In the wet my ass steps out VERY easily and i loose traction on take off almost all the time.

That's due to my clutch though.

In the dry. Can't beat them. for 215's (i need 225/245's really) they do a decent job considering i've got some reasonable power. And i've smoked up a few times and drive hard... and the tyres look like new still so they've got a long life it seems

I've had yokohama's on another car and they were good also, very good in the wet but VERY soft and therefore don't last as long as other brands.

they were 539's i think?

[Daz]

Great advice, thanks fellas

what's with the "mm". are you going to eat me?

and i dont understand why you would call me such a thing. i am highly offended. everything i posted here was a direct response to another person.

love, terrance.

If $$$ ain't a problem, then go for the Conti. That's the best! But if you wanna go for something like the road-racer, it would be even better...

[CR34TION]

Let me know what you decide Daz, as I am thinking of getting tyres too. Tonight i was going 100km along the freeway, when i changed to 3rd and floored it. The wheels slipped and traction control came on and the power just died.

My suspension is brand new so i think it is my tyres but that's almost brand new. Is there anyway my car is boosted without me knowing??? hmmm... as i can never get traction (silly question)

Oh yeah, and i got smoked:P

[Daz]

CR34TION: I will let you know ASAP.

BUMP for your question
