Your tyres offer a very small contact patch with the road at each corner. Therefore IMO a decent quality tyre is paramount to safety especially with a high performance car.

Whats the best option ? Buy cheap tyres, lose grip and write off your Scoob or pay for a well known brand and be safe

you guys have a point. Nankangs have been offered to me as a promo. My dads mate has been given some to try out. Will let you know what there like.

Weren't they referred to on here as 'Nankang ditchfinders'? (possibly by a certain Mr. Croney)

My car came with a set on. After a few bum-clenching moments in the dry, I swapped them for Goodyear F1's.

I still have the Nankangs, and as a testiment to their granite like wear rating, they have done three trackdays with no sign of wearing down. I'm going to have to change my driving style to be a bit more aggresive so I can get rid of them.

I have 4 nankangs on my MY99 this now - about to change to Toyo proxies though. They have lasted for ever - 30,000 on them and still look almost new. Which must say a lot for the grip (and not in a good way).

I've done the last 30k miles on a motorway though so they suited me fine - were £55 a corner fitted from a main subaru dealer 18 months ago.

Not a route I'd go down again though - now I know a bit more (and also found this BBS).

cheers for that guys. Its taken the fellas down at the tyre shop nearly 2hrs to fit 4 tyres. They couldn't get the rubber to pop back and seal. So very little give in the tyre wall. Will let you know how I get on, So far not bad but am going to really rag them this weekend.
