Looking around the internet people are saying the same as me. Grip on the vred's are awesome but they are wearing away quickly most likly since its a soft compound. I think the goodyears it is

From BMW where it's all nice and people call you sir. It's not far off then what you might have to pay at nissan where the service isn't even matched.

I have heard good things about them but I can't tryst any tyre review too much as they always come in different places. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/hankook-ventus-v12-evo-page-10 "consistent laps with no surprises" "In the wet, however, the V12s were as sporty and connected as they come, with grip second only to the PS2s’ and the best braking. The Hankooks were extremely consistent, likely because they were so well-behaved, which made them easy to drive quickly."

i'm just off out but i'll look later, as for the falkens, i ran them on the S2000; and i now run them on the jag, and to be fair they are pretty bloody good....but....i would pu that down to the low profile i have/need for both cars, meant the tyre wall was/is extremly stiff. but the compound, and wet and dry grip have been brilliant. on stock rims i wouldn't pput falkens on the zed as with the 45 profile i think you get to much movement. but if you're running larger 19" rims then they're worth a punt. just from browsing camskills quickly the hankooks are all pretty good http://camskill.co.uk/m61b0s322p63448/H ... 95Y_XL_TL_ http://camskill.co.uk/m61b0s322p15229/H ... 95Y_XL_TL_ as are the dunlop sp sportmaxx http://camskill.co.uk/m61b0s322p73082/D ... _A4_S-Line also worth a look are uniroyal rainsport 2's but they have a soft side wall. will post up more in a bit. I know its abit silly but I dont really rate the hankook's. I know the v12 are ment to be good and when my tyres need changing on the clio il give them a punt but on the 350 I like to stay with tyres I know. Im still getting to grips with the car and keeping it preditable is a big thing for me. At the moment ive got some vred sportrac 4's on the clio and they seem quite good. Rainsport 2's are epic in the wet but so so on dry. I had some of them on my 106. Falkens are ok IMO. Much better than your crappy stuff like wanli or even stuff garages put on cars like federal and firestone. But they dont suit my driving style. I also think lack feel. They are though now the vreds arent in stock in alot of places excellent value for money. Ive had falkens on my mums and dads last 2 cars. My 106 also had some ziex912's which werent bad considoring they where sub £30 new each.

I dont mind spending a little more tbh. I personally like both tyres and they both give rougly the same grip in the dry but same as yourself the vreds seem to be very soft. I know thats what gives them their grip but if the goodyears are getting just as good grip but wear alot less its a winner. for 4 tyres the goodyear f1's are about £150 more expensive but they shouldnt wear as quick.

cheers mate

Ive already got one and its £60 vs £250

crikey !! ill look into this!!!! i have seen other engine covers and inside bonnets and all sorts with this painted on! i didnt know its true meaning.... hmm well its a bit late now.... and i like the cover..... i hope no one at a car show gets offended! hopefully theyll just think "she doesnt probably know the meaning of it!?" which infact is true then! owwh that is a shame!!! I wouldn't worry too much, I still have my rising sun support stick propped up in my living room, no one else knows what it means really. If you personally don't have a problem with it then its fine if someone else does, then that's something they need to deal with, I didn't throw my flag away because my mate was offended by it. Have a read up on it, always good to prop up your knowledge on history, heck if someone does say something at a car show at least you can talk in an informed manner about it! Not a very good freind are you. I bet ebay doesnt get offended about a flag

Wont that front size confuse the TCS? Bought the car like that. Had it for nearly 3 years. *whispers* I think it's a myth.

Im looking for 235/40/18 and 245/45/18

I never trust tyre reviews as someone driving an elise could be comparing tyre wear to a jeep and so on. Mega, I use fk452 on my mum and dads car. They are ok but no way id put them on the 350. Ive tried the vred's before but they seem to wear to fast for my liking.

Camskill or mytyres. Try to go for a more common size like for my Clio it's cheaper for 195's over 185 and 205.

Cheers for the other responses. Do you know if it is a 2.25" or 2.5" and do you know how long it is?

I can't weld though. Il be learning soon though but until then il have to rely on the garage.

You can 100% get them in 18

Hi guys, Need some advice. I have used good year gsd-3's on my clio and they where pretty good. Now I have the choice of going for some cheaper Vred's SESSANTA which ive used before and they are ok. Now the are ok and I dont have much to compare them too on the 350z. But I didnt get it on that long ago really and they already on 3mm. So My choice is vreds SESSANTA or goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2. The Vreds are about £100 cheaper all in. Now what I want to know is 1. what gives better dry grip b. Which tyre last longer? The 350 is my daily and its mainly dual carrige way driving or some town driving. But if its dry and I want to take it to some B roads I still want some decent grip. All opinions are much apprciated.

Hi guys, Car failed its mot on the broken flexi as its blowing. I have a japspeed Y pipe. Anyone know anybody near Dundee or Arbroath who can fix this. My local garage doesnt seem to keen on this as they say they dont have one big enough. I could even travel as far as Glasgow. If this has happened to anyone a rough cost on how much it would cost would be fantastic Cheers again

sounds like some good stuff. Where did you get it from? ebay was my friend on this one. i tried something like STP or Redex before but it didn't do much. got reccomended the BG44k and i saw an improvemnt within 2 tanks of fuel. best to use it in a full tank, run it down to half empty and then fill tank back up, then run tank to empty and fill to top again. its alot stronger than anything else on the market. BG do a load of other stuff, not tied anything else but they do octane boosters as well; check out their website, i think you can order from there as well. my engine is 11 years old and had some miles on it. if you notice it on the zed i'm unsure. but the V8 certainly liked it. will probably run another can through again next year. How many treatments does one can give you?

+1 WD40 is rubbish for lubricating things. Ferrosol is where its at. A proper penatration fluid.

sounds like some good stuff. Where did you get it from?

No that was octane boosters and their test was super flawed.

I used some redline stuff about a year ago. Was about £6 said it had the highest temptetire detergents. Did it make any difference? Not that I could tell. But for £6 it felt like I had treated my car and felt like slight peace of mind. So can't complain.

agreed drive both lock thread

370z with uprev and exhaust/intake would give it a good go though. 370z - ~340HP and 1,466 kg (from wikipedia and the fact my car dyno'd at 308WHP which add transmission losses of ~30HP) Z4M - 343HP and 1,495 kg (from some random article on Google) Would make an interesting race But then your talking stock vs modded, and if you read my post I was referring to the 350z, not the 370z, as that was what Rabbitstew was talking about also Im pretty sure though that its hard to get more power out of the s52 as its pretty much perfect already. Its making way over 100bhp per litre too. Where as the 3.7 isnt running as good as it could. I have heard some mild mods and your running 350-360bhp.

If it's a good quality 10-40 and it's fully synth fine but I'm sure thus was standard stuff semi synth. Nothing wrong with 10w40 oil all be it Fully Synthetic. Abbey use it and preferred over 5w
