paul w Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 As for tyres toyos are not all they are cracked up to be! They can be downright shocking in the wet!!Get Kumho KU31 78 V they are half the price and exellent in wet or dry, i had them on my ibiza turbo, skyline, GT, Gt4's and i would put em on any other motor i own.

Si@Fiske Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 X2 t1r's are wank from my experience Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 thats brilliant fishy, any chance in sourcing some Bronze ones?as i would reeeallly like some bronze ones. im willing to pay £500 for some,maybe a bit more if there mint or special in some kind of way.thanks for the recomendation paul. i think the t1rs are alright, the ts's are wank in the wet though. although the t1r's were on my pug when i understeered into a wall...

MikeN Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I had the red Volk lug nuts and they where the most piece of crap lug nuts i ever had. You could damage them by even looking at them wrong I love the cheap neonchrome muteki's i now have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 although the t1r's were on my pug when i understeered into a wall...No offence but pretty sure that's not entirely down to the tyres.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackRocket Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I know 3 people who've had Rotas and never had a problem. Altho I agree that proper jap wheels are probs better.Try looking on other Jap forums etc and see whats for sale 2nd hand. They may need a refurb but its cheaper in the long run and you can barter the price down As for locking nuts i'd say get 2 sets off ebay and do them on opposite studs - £150 is a tad excessive! Unless you have a VERY rare super dooper amazing set of wheels on your motor Tyres - try Tyreshopper.co.uk - I found them good. T1R's are not the best value tyre. they're OK in the dry and poo in the wet. They also wear really quickly due to the soft compound.I've just got a set of Yokohama Parada 2's fitted and i'm really happy with them. It tipped it down the other night and I was still getting good front end grip Only cost me £80 fitted too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 No offence but pretty sure that's not entirely down to the tyres....dampers were fuxed too.and i was driving way to fast for the corner and ruined a £2500 car. ive learnt my lesson... the hard way. dont fuck about on the roads.I know 3 people who've had Rotas and never had a problem.

Bluebear Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Oh my god. Those are ridiculously rare I think! Nanglebadger has just got some for his Nanglewagon, although he's getting one of them refurbed because it got chipped in the delivery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
