Looking to get new tyres for 17"

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)

[shinx]

aye im really inclined to the nankang wheels £164 for 4 delivered, cant really beat it i dont think

[Wabby69]

Thats ****ing cheap! Guy was quoted £250 for 4 205/50 X 15 tyres. . . . and they were a make i have never heard off! lol

[Wabby69]

They deliver to UK mainland only tho dude!!!

[shinx]

shouldnt be a prob, NI is actaully same postage costs as anywhere mainland UK so shouldnt be a factor, however some diks i dealt with refused to believe this fact and gave me back about 95% of payment - dicks lmao

i had a set of nankangs all round on my vectra and they are good for the money in the dty and wet...

i had dunlops on my cav gsi and then replaced them with nankangs thought they where a much better tyre held the road brilliant in the wet and dry

All seems well with them, barring an major avoid these tyres or seller replies prob gonna order them in the morning

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?

just be careful innit - are they e-marked?

try this place HERE

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.

[shinx]

checkd loads of sites, but all are twice as expensive, can get non brand tyres for £50 locally aswell, but if they are ok at £38 i should be fine, its only a wee 1.4i, not gonna be raggin it to hard lmao

i dont even know if it matters with such a low powered car, thats why im askng

[Tathan]

then get the nankangs sorry i was in 22b.com or scoobynet mode where people are trying to get 450bhp down, not 45












lmao lmao seriously, they're alright tyres

[shinx]

really pleased the came today! just as i finished fixing my heating - the look lovely too nice to even put on the 17's - not 14's in picture lmao
