I changed to these tyres as the ones that came on the car when I bought the car back at 88400KM didn't look the greastest. However these ones have gone through the Australian summer and are still holding up to great control. I have gone through heavy rain and some of the hottest days, not once did they loose traction. if you are looking for cheap BUT decent rubber for your car I would recommed them

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Nissan Skyline V35 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
All the reviews you read here are true. Although they last well and are quite good on the dry the wet grip is terrible. Very easy to spin the tires coming from a stop (although fun when done on purpose) but loosing it on the wet and have even hydroplaned on a highway/motorway so I have absolutely no trust in them when there's any sign on water.
I got these tyres as a temporary substitute when I changed my wheels. They were excellent in the dry and very good in the wet. The Dunlops also made the car quieter overall. Very little noise. I noticed too that the more they wore, the stickier they got. The sidewalls on these isn't as hard as the previous tyres, but the all out grip was impressive none the less. I would definitely buy a new set, but the price and availability make it hard to get.
These are lethal. Had these fitted as a stop gap due to an MOT failure for inside wear on 2 tyres front and back and didn't have funds for decent replacements. My car is rear wheel drive and I fell off the road a number of times in wet conditions at moderate speed, mostly around roundabouts, accelerating out of junctions on turns etc. It is like driving in snow. They were constantly losing pressure from day one. Took to garage who demonstrated in water tank air leakage from seal on the inside on all 4. Not only that but damaged the rims on all 4 wheels as well. I learnt the hard way and these tyres cost me £2000 as I had to replace wheels and tyres. Now using Avon ZZ3 which are excellent.
These tyres are ok in the dry, but in the wet they are extremely dangerous and could quite easily cause an accident if your not on the ball and can drive a car very well.
Roundabouts are a death trap with these tyres, and nursing it around is the only safe way to drive with these tyres.
The braking test from 100km/hr was appalling and could hardly feel the seat-belt load on my chest, and the ABS was working overtime, you would want to stop quickly if someone stepped out in front of you. These tyres should be banned in Australia with no question about it, these have the potential to kill someone very easily indeed. The compound is the issue, but tread pattern is fine for dispersing water.

Had these tyres on my 200sx and that didn't really notice the noise - maybe due to the exhaust and what not, but I must say they weren't that bad... But since I put these tyres onto my v35, wow are they noisy. Lots of whurring noise above 30kmph and when braking to come to a stop, there is a huge droning noise.
Not sure, but maybe these tyres don't like being put onto heavier cars?
In terms of performance, grip and handling was great in the 200sx, but feels a little unresponsive and light in the v35.
