Help With Tyre Brand

[Fever]

I have finally decided on the alloys i am going for.....can't tell you all which ones yet though! The company I am getting from them has done me a very good deal! 18's fitted and balenced with locking nuts for an excellent price! The only thing I am questioning is the tyres! They are going to be 225 /40 /18, which is what I wanted, but the brand is Nankang! They are Goodyear F1 style tread, but can anyone advise if they have used or had knowledge on the brand and if they are any good?? Obviously I can upgrade but the present price they have for me is excellent!!

Thanks as always - Neil

Never heard of them pal......... any other options.......?

Nankang are a budget priced tyre (read into it what you like) but I would recommend that you buy the best tyres as they are probably one of the most vital elements of the car.

my tyres are "bon jovi`s" ......................slippery when wet !

nankang= CRAP wouldnt even both with them to be honest, I had a set on my old car when i was student ( not too much cash!) and they were terrible, no grip in wet and not much in the dry to be honest. and they wore out quicker than cakes at an eaters anonomous meeting

stay away from them and get a decent set of tyres.
