Choices, choices...(tyres - opinions wanted)

So the time has come to get some new rubber on the R34 GT-T.

Ive done some looking around and wondering if anyone has had experiences with these Tyres, good or bad.

Also what about these prices?

Good or Bad?

245*40*17

Bridgestone S03 - $370

Kumho KU19 - $268

Yokohama AVS V102 (or AVS100) - $400

Now the car is mostly used as a daily driver and does not get anything in the way of track work.

Im leaning towards the Kumho because of the cost.

Best combination from expeirence:

Rear: Falken RT215 semislicks

Front: Falken ST115

The RTs are about $320 a tyre for 17" 245-55

STs are a fair bit cheaper

If the car is just a general daily driver with not much hard driving then just about any descent tyre will be fine

I have recently installed Yoko AVS to my GTST - reason that these were the closest spec rubber to a semi-slick however should still get around 30000km instead of 10-15k with semis. They also have a solid tread pattern which flexes less on the track - 235 45 17 & 255 40 17 cost around $370/tyre. I use everyday for business but aso get to the track every six weeks or so. Did have falken azenis which I found to be shitful in the wet. I very happy with the results especially in the wet - but really need a dedicated track trye for the track

Might be worth trying:

Hankook Ventus K104 (not aval in NSW but are in Vic through Donnellan's The Tyremen, go figure...) there are good reports on the forums about these.

Sumitomo HTRZ-02 (very underated apparently).

Price for 255/40/17 was about 250/320 repectively.

Good luck
