Do you mean Nankang, presumably the NS2?
You'd be a brave man to run these on a high powered skyline. I had a set on an MR2, fine in the dry for road driving, push on and they grain and lose all grip. Too hard to work well in the wet. Lasted for ages though.

Oops, typo. Yeah I meant Nankangs. I'm about to put some of the the NS2 on my GTR. Had them before, I don't mind them. Fine in the dry, just have to take it a bit easy in the wet which I do anyway. I like my car too much to wrap it around a pole in the wet.

That's why I bought them first (and because the price is fair).
You definitely get what you pay for. The Falken are okay for inspirated faster driving but when you really start to push the car to the limit the tires heat up very fast and then they start to become very slipery... ...this is fun to drive (I really like to hang the ass out of the corner) but you're not fast hence I'll be not going to buy them again.

The Ku31 gets the better reviews.

Avon ZZ3
Hi, has anyone tried Avon ZZ3's. Im also thinking of going for 275 35 18 instead of 265's, I wonder if it will affect the handling.

Loads of choice in 275/35 r18 so you're not limited to only a few tyres, is that why you're making the change up a size?

275 35 18
I went on line and the 275 35 18 is closer in size to a 245 45 17 standard tyre than the 265 35 18 I am currently running.

I have Falken 452's on my 430bhp GTS-T on the rear (265x35x18) which almost killed me the other day. They are OK when they have loads of tread but when it goes down they become horrible especially in the cold.
I just bought a pair of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta to replace the Falkens having read plenty of good reviews. They were even cheaper than the Falkens price-wise, so I shall report soon.

I've used the following in Summer:
- Yokohama Advan A048s, MH Compound when used for half a season good when above 20oC, anything under greasy. - Falken RT615, Good in Dry, OK in Wet. Overall OK Street tire - MT ET Streets, Kick Ass in Dry on the Street and Strip, Never tried in Wet and don't recommend you do. - Nitto Invos, Good in Dry, Good in Wet. Overall Good Street Tire.

I,ve just bought a set of federal 595 RSR,s to try.My car has 888,s on at the moment but to replace them would have been to much for the amount i use the car so i thought i,d try these 595,s.I bought them off of SPD automotive who gave me a good price and delivered them on time.They are 265 35 18 and worked out less than half the price of 888,s.I,ll post up how they compare after my next trackday.
