groper Member 611 Member For: 18y 2m 22d Posted 16/05/08 11:53 AM Share Posted 16/05/08 11:53 AM my brother has these on hs r33 gtr skyline fk452`s, in our opinion, they are pretty sh*t tyre in terms of grip. they are cheap though, we paid under 300 per corner, but they perform cheap too... far better tyres out there... for just a tad more money, you get heaps better performance.

Grope - interesting they didn't suit the Nissan. What did actually suit the R? Have a mate running the FK 452s on his wife's Merc.... and he rates them above the standard kit Michies.

They go alright for cornering grip but trying to get power down to the ground they are shocking.

iotlek Member 17 Member For: 17y 10m 2d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 19/05/08 01:57 PM Share Posted 19/05/08 01:57 PM I have tried numerous tyres on my xr6t ute. I have found that by far the Michelin Pilot Preceda 2's are the best set of tyres I have used. Even in the wet they grip amazingly well.Put it this way I have been a member since june 07 and this is my first post, I am only really posting because I firmly believe these are the best tyres for the stock 17" rims.Just my 2c anyway.

Sure they wear out quickly, but that's the price of performance. I posted an article in a thread a while back that listed all these tyres and prices in one easy page... http://autospeed.com/cms/A_2912/article.htmlmost of them will have you grinning from ear to ear going around a corner like you never thought possible...
