If you dont use the car in the wet you can fit owt, its in the wet/damp when tyres really start to matter and quality does count,
Nankangs have been known to explode for no reason so Id steer clear, these were in 18 inch form though,
Havent you just been in touch with Shaky ? and asked him what he thinks as he sells tyres lol

Basically yes, or you can go for the fitted option in which you arrange a time to have the garage fit your tyres (if that service is available).

BTW: despite the above comment I'm running Goodyear GSD3's at the mo, which came down in price enormously when the Assymetric1 was released.

I've been dissapointed with Kuhmo's in the past but have heard good comments about FK452s. Which is why I recommended them at the start of the thread.

I woulodnt say I was an expert as I do like my Bridgestone RE070's and dont think there is anything wrong with them in the wet (other people think they suck, they just cant drive very well though ) but I have had Vredstein's on a car before then went to GSD3's and was severely disappointed with those, so I would give the vredstein Sessanta's a shot as they are a good tyre for the money

Thanks again mate it's still a bit of a toss up between them and the uniroyals as it can get a bit wet where i am although with the current wave of approval for the vredys i'm leaning that way.

Just a bit worried they may be like the approval rating of the T1R which are questionable to say the least..
