yeah had them on the rear of my R33 N/A (235/17's)

were really quite good in the dry but seemed to slide really easy in the wet (but predictable n controllable).

not sure if i would have liked them on a 200hpatw+ GTST... Depends what size you are going for too i guess. If you are going for a 255 or 265 then the grip is going to be better for the turbo application...

Good budget tyre. I emphasize the word budget tho. U get what you pay for.

These are supposed to be a "made by Bridgestone" tyre. That being the case, I would be happy to try them.

Anyone used these things, and has comments (good or bad).

Hey Justin How are you?

Yeah i remember those tyres, when i bought them from bob jane the guy told me the same thing that they were made by bridgestone and the tread pattern reduces road noise.

I drive very slow lol so they worked alright.

But as Justin Said they are good budget tyres.

that wont mean they are good, just that they probably wont blow out on u lol

a lot of the cheap brands are "made by big name companies" as its a big market they want a part of, but dont want to associate their name with because they are made on the cheap.

it depends what car they are going on, if they are going on a skyline id have to ask why buy a performance car if you're going to make it perform poorly by cheaping out on tyres. if its a shitter daily then fair enough lol

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

They'll be going on the R32 GTS4 - 235/45x17s. As you can see from the panel at left, I've done the RB25 upgrade, so there is a bit more punch than your ordinary GTS4.

If they're a bit sus in the wet, maybe better to spend a few more $$$ for brand-name.

you mention GTS4 n RB25 so im assuming you mean non-turbo and awd.

In which case, i think they would be fine. That is if you are on a budget. Otherwise always spend more n get better.

But if it is a price range thing and also going on a non-turbo i think you will be plenty satisfied. They hung on just fine in my R33 N/A.

N even though not massive outright grip they are very predictable. Which is worth its weight in gold if you ask me(i come from a biking background)

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
