yea i can vouge for that comment lol seing as how i now have your old rims + tyres on my car and these tyres are pretty average to put it nicely on my pulsar they rocked but as soon as you add a bit more power to the car eg now owning a skyline they grip like crap when you put your foot down oh well i will be replacing them in another couple of months will keep an eye on this thread for what to replace them with

[TokyoTaxi]

Just reporting back on the TOYO TP-G's.

Dry: 8/10

Wet: 6/10

Value: 7/10

Tyres I've used which I'm comparing against:

Comment: Prol spend a bit extra next time and get the TOYO T1-R's

Any one had experience with GF Goodrich G Force Sports or GT Radials (champiro)?? 17/235/45. Quite a few places I've called have recommended them but I'm not sure wheter they are good or just getting better rates to sell them.

hmm, not many people mentioning continentals.

The tyre shop at my work supplies them, can get them for a pretty decent price too. The manager said they are a damn good tyre, so im going to have to give them a go sometime.

dry:7/10

value for money: 8/10 Great all rounder for drift etc but damn noisy!

Yokohama DNA GP

Dry: 6/10

Value: They were on the car when I got it

Dunlop SP3000A Silica Tyres - Anyone used them? I just bought a set (yet to go on the car)

[marc2]

Dunlop SP3000A Silica Tyres - Anyone used them?  I just bought a set (yet to go on the car)

Currently running them on my wife's BA Turbo. Tyre was originally designed as the OE fitment for this car. Has been accepted to be an above average tyre by the general public and as such now readily available in other sizes. I have personally found them to suit the BA very well - better than other more expensive options.

My personal preference is the Goodyear REVSPEC RS-02, currently fitted to my SII Stagea (235/40R18). A little expensive when compared with its competitors, but I do not place price on safety.

The last couple of weeks in Canberra we have had some rather terrible wet weather and these tyres loved it - especially with AWD.

Neither vehicle has seen any track work therefore I have no comment to offer in that regard.
