Tyres for SX

[chapperssx]

Hi
Can anyone recomend a particular make of tyre for my 400sx ?.

Toyo T1R's. I've used Toyos on both my wedges and am extrmely happy with their performance and price.

What wheels are you running? I've gone up to 16" on the back and wider too (cerbie wheels) and the rubber is more readily available. I would recommend this for the 400SX to lay down the extra torque.

I agree with T1R's but found them hard to get at a reasonable price a few months ago. Bridgestone S02/S03 are reasonable too. Currently I have Nexen 3000's on the back as I was waiting for more T1R's to be imported, but actually they are OK, and half the price (about £70 a corner).

I have'nt measured them but think they are the standard oz5 spoke splitrims,i may upgrade to 16s if i can find a set.

How many miles do you intend to do? How worried are you about cost? Will you drive much in the wet? Considered 888s?

I was considering putting those on my last Wedge, which only went out in the dry.

Do they need to be really well warmed up though, to be fully effective (and safe) ?

Originally they were fitted with 225s - go any wider and the inner tyrewalls will foul the A frame link from the chassis outrigger to the hub. (This redesign on the 350i mark 2 was bought about because on the early cars the hubs were moving back and toeing out under hard acceleration)

R1-R looks good, halfway between T1-R and R-888.
