Tyres for a GTR34 v spec - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

simonP · 18th November 2002, 10:49 PM

I need to put some new tyres on my r34. Apart from the obvious Bridgestone option, does anyone have any suggestions?

I think quite a few ppl rate Goodyear F1 tyres on here

But don't know whether they're available in the R34 size??

the new eagle F1's are very good

Falken FK451's are cool.

I use them to and they are a good all rounder. Depends on your driving style and what you want to do with the car... I don't think the 451's are the stickest you can get and mine didn't fare to well after my last track day; although it was a very tight and twist track so not really suited to my car.

DO the new F1's come in the R33 245/45/17 size???

I you can get them you might want to try Yokohama AVS or Advan Neova. Had great results with both of these tyres.

Cya O!

Hi there,

We use Falken FK451(265/45ZR18).
We have done Bedford x2 days, Bruntingthorpe x1 day, Spa x1 day and Nurburgring x1 day this year, and it has still enough groove.
And the grip is spurb as well.
Jamie M has tried FK451 with ProSpec's car (T23GTR) at Spa as well and Nurburgring, and we have very positive comment and impression from him.

Yours,
Shin
