    Anyone Clued Up On Tyres?

    Looking to get new tyres for 17"

    Found these two to be cheapest

    Thought nankang were good make, any help or even suggestions where to go would be great

    Nankang are the better of the two imo, and your local moto shop should do for around £8 a wheel, (Balanced, new valves, fit tyre and dispose of old one)

    nankang do some pretty good tyres (iirc they are used by Jap GT teams or summat).

    they also do some god awful holy sheeit i'm dead ones. if they're cheap imports the compound will never get to temperature on our roads and will never work properly. I had some Eagle F1s from japan that were so hard you couldn't hear them squeal - first thing you knew you were pointing backwards looking at blue smoke

    just be careful innit - are they e-marked?

    yeah mytyres are good. also www.blackcircles.com can be cheaper sometimes.

    or ebay toyos are among the best rubber a man will ever feel. ahem.

    edit: ns2's are the better nankangs i think (just read the ad properly). still not a patch on toyos for the sake of £25 extra per pair IMO.
