Snow Tyres To Suit R33 Gtr Where Can I Sell Them?

[some_cs_student]

Hey,

My car came with some unusual tyres from Japan, they are not correctly speed rated for a GTR on Australian roads so they were replaced during compliance.

I believe they are snow tyres and look very new, plenty of tread on them.

Where can I sell tyres like this?

They were on the stock R33 17*9 rims, so 245/45/17 I think

Regards,

Gareth

Hahaha, how about you pay me some $$$, buy them and you can do whatever you like with them

Pics attached they are Yokahoma Iceguard and they are 245mm wide.

sell em to some drifters on nissansilvia.com

Might be a good idea, I don't have enough rating to post in the for sale section yet but I'll see what I can do

[paulr33]

take em to deca and fry em

[Adz]

Yeah im with Jar drifters love them. Or if you want to learn to drift or thinking of doing deca keep them.

On a GTR?

The R31 just won't fit tyres this large

I actually might keep it for Deca, that would be a lot of fun and I can save my normal tyres.

I'll get to Deca eventually probably later this year.

Thanks for the advice

Please please please dont use them on a gtr in the wet. They are really slipery in the wet.

snow tires are worthless we get them for free.

They are like jelly for drifting so there shit, in the wet they are horrificly dangerous - youd think snow tyres would be good in the wet - they are more dangerous that tyres on belt in the wet!!!

They are only good for a good burnout session becuase they LAST for AGES!!

I used snow tyres once before on the GTR @ DECA and they were slippery. But not in a good way.

I thought snow tyres are designed to work @ a very low temperature to suit ice / snow conditions. Therefore they go off a lot quicker. So wont ripping skids @ DECA just delaminate the tyres very quickly. I know mine didn't last long @ high temperatures.

I have those exact tyres (same profile everything) on the back of my supra right now.

........and they SUCK!!!

The rear wobbles around heaps, they offer no grip, and they make so much damn noise - i hate them

(i knew i was buying crap tyres, but never knew just how bad they are)

Honestly, if i was given them for free all i'd do with them is go and do a few skids then get rid of them

EDIT: They're only rated to 80k's aswel which is pretty annoying. But mine have held together multiple times at a 3 digit number that i wont say on a public forum

[Starionturbo]

maybe there designed to run with a light chain? Cos they are horrible horrible tyres!

[ylwgtr2]

i think i know someone that might need them ......

youd think snow tyres would be good in the wet - they are more dangerous that tyres on belt in the wet!!!

Nah, there is less surface area touching the road due to the bumps/divots hence less traction. They are also not designed to channel the water very well so the aqua plain. Now I know less surface area is generally better in the wet eg. thin tyres will get more traction in the wet because the weight is distributed over a small area but not with snow tyres, they are just plain shit

I'd say your stuck with them mate, no one wants them lol.

PS - Pisser Troy!

[dan_the_man]

i see snow tyres. where are the tyres?

[ylwgtr2]

paypal accepted, although considering he's more like a charity-type organisation I think I might donate.

Thanks for the serious replies, I guess I won't be using them at DECA

Oh, ylwgtr2 I think this thread needs you:

Who Thinks Non-gtr Owners Should Very Nicely Shut Up About How/what Gtr's Are Actually Like To Own And Drive. Mmmkay? But, Supra Owners Own All!, SUPRA POWA ! ! ! !
