tires

[Underoath.]

Just curious, what tires are people running,
I had nexen..... The side walls are seperating... As well as someone thought it would be funny to slash all 4 tires.

Size I have is 245 45 18

Lessen learned. When I had the car oop inspection, c tire was like you need there. So for 105 installed meh. Lesson learned

245/40R18 Falken 912's, is what I'm running. Pretty much a performance all season tire, doesn't grip as good as the UHP tires but, it does it's job on the street.

Nexen tires are rubbish. Korean made. Had nexen n2000 on a 300zx and it gripping sux balls. I had a pair of nexen n7000, brand new tires and just I gave it to my friend. After he drove on it for a couple of days, he hated them as well.

What size rim? Depends on what you are doing. If its just street driving there are lots of tire options open. Get a brand name tire thats on sale and has a profile you like.

Doing track days and/or auto slalom, that narrows things down. Bridgestone RE-11, Direzza Z1 starspec, Advan AD08, Kumho XS, Hankook RS-3 and Toyo R1R are great extreme performance tires. RE-11's are best all round and by far the best in the wet.

I run Hankook Z214 for dry track and Conti Xtreme DW for wet track and street. Conti's are better than the RE-11's in the wet but no where near as good in the dry.

i, am going with 275/40/r17 kuhmo ecsta XS next summer

[GTR-guy]

Running Yokohama S drive tires 265/35R18. They have been good to me so far!

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

For GT-Rs I would recommend 265/35/18 or 255/40/17

[Phastwon]

I run Toyo R1R sized 265/35/18 on an 18x10 inch BBS rim.

I've got personal experience with the bolded ones above and can confirm they're a good track tire. I daily drive my GT-R in the summer and both of these tires are fine for that, including rain. Don't try to run them in the snow.

[frankiman]

if you are looking for great street only tires, with good rain traction,
theres the Falken FK-452
or with more budget there is the Yokohama S.Drive, one of the best street tire (above 200tw)
