I just bought a set of Yokohama A539s they are the business...

soft and grippy, very good in the wet... but in the end it pretty much comes

down to personal experience and preference.

They fit your price range.

as to the tyre fitment on ur rims, not too sure.. something u'll need to check

with a tyre specialist. ie. BobJane, Tyre Factory, etc

My car has 17 x 8? (not actually sure yet, still stuck on the wharfs) but rear tyres are at 255/40/17. So i reckon you might get 265's outta ur 18's? Might wanna check that tho.

Tyres i've got are Advan Neova's, haven't driven the stupid thing yet! :rolleyes: but have heard these are good tyres. Altho, ppl are having trouble actually getting them here :confused:

cheers

I personally love the Falken fk451s, they are great.  In 235/40/18 they are about 400.

just got a set of these...love them!! my car is like a different car in the wet now... I would recommend them to anyone! (they're great in the dry too, but it's just the wet that you really notice the difference when you have good tyres and you don't have to be so afraid of stepping out when you go thru a corner!)

I had Advan neova AD06's on my old soarer and they held on damn well until they were past there used by date... N-1 Distribution sells them in victoria but the prices are just plain silly unless you want to pay 3-4K for rubber :(

Damn... another person who likes FK451 Falkens :)

I think they are 'ok' - I prefer the ST115 but wear is a tad higher on the 115 vs. 451.

T.

we are running the 115s on the z now and I believe the 451s are superior, I'm very disappointed by the 115s :D

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
