Picked up some Yokohama Advan A460's at the weekend..... today being a nice wet day, I thought I'd give them a test run.

I'd give these a 10 out of 10 in the wet, I've never had a tyre perform this good....traction traction traction!

Anyone out there looking at getting new tyres, I rate these!

There's another Advan series of tyre, apparently a few guys use them for the Tassy and NZ targas, cause they stick like glue in the wet.

You should get in contact with a place that stock yokohama, they'll find out for you.

As for price, yeah they are expensive but way worth it, in the fact I can drive in the wet without cringing into corners & praying not to crash :D

I got A539s on mine and they are excellent in the wet also. Yokohamas tend to be a little bit $$$$, but I think with tyres you get what you pay for. I have got Yokohamas on my skyline (235/45 R17 A539), my gemini van (175/70 R13 S760) and my mini (165/70 R10 A008) and they are all great and do exactly what I needed from them. A539 - good street performance with excellent wet weather properties, S760 cheapish quality tyre that gets good mileage, A008 STICKY AS HELL!!

ive got them tyres tho their ****ed now. camber and drifting = bad.

mine are 255s

mmmmm. and yes they grip very very well.

in the wet tho, they are pretty good, but due to having such a large tyre the weight per surface area makes my car aqua quite easily.

getting another two. but im a bit low on $ due to some stuff.

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
