treblet Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 if you want cheap tyres buy some nankangs, they are properly cheap and a lot of people swear by them... some also swear that they are ditch finders but i think that depends on how good a driver you are!!

I used to have them on the Lupo and they weren't good.Toyo R888s or MickeyT drag radials for me next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Tyres are pretty important, I wouldn't put crap ones anywhere near my motor. Its like value loo roll its a false economy you use it twice as quickly and for the small fee extra why not have some comfort. Cheap tyres will often wear faster and might not be there when you need them most, probably cost an extra 50 squid on top of the cheapies for something decent.

VinnyGTI Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I've had nankangs on mine and i have found that they wore unevenly. I got my tracking checked to make sure and it was fine. Got some Toyos and i have found hat they are spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenzie Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I just fitted 4 Nexen's yesterday, £35 a corner, decent enough tyre, only done 100 miles with them so far but so far so good. Can't grumble at the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
