The tyres on my recently acquired Terzo are Nankang EX 500 fronts and Marshal Power Racer 2 on the rear both in the standard 205/50/16V size. Has anyone ever heard of them? Grip does not seem to be their strong point.
First option is to replace them with Toyo Proxy TS1 at £339 all in and leave everything else alone.
Second is to go 18 Prodrive P1 OZ (£800-£900) and 215/35/18 Toyos (at £484 all in) or similar. If I go for these Id have to have a big wing and small ride height reduction to complete the look.
Does anyone have any experience of the 18 wheels / tyres as Im worried about having to mod the rear arches to prevent tyre rubbing. Does the improved look and grip merit the expense and hassle?

Nankang`s & Marshalls are the best. SO2`s are`nt a patch on these for grip & all round wet weather performance 
My Dad once had a Cavalier SRi & wanted these tyres on, the guy in the garage refused to fit them he said my Dad would`nt make it around the first corner
