Hi

Just bought a R33 GT R with winter tyres almost brand new!

Want to know if these are safe on corners and fast driving.

Thanks.

not as good as summer tyres! drivable though but dont get too over confident.
deffinatly use them in the winter as they make an unbelievable amount of difference!

I'd be more interested in what make/model these 'winter' tyres are...

good point i suppose, mine were bridgestones and gave enough grip but you couldnt really push it like you could with summer/ all season tyres on.
