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.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
