    New Tyres, Nankangs NS-2's, lovely and quiet on the P2

    I know i know, not the best make in the world, but im finding these tyres are good as the Falkens on my last S60.

    I went to All New Tyres in Macclesfield and bought 4 fitted for £202 (215-45-17 becuse of the rubbing issue)

    Amazingly quiet and grippy, and my MPG has gone up by 1mpg already

    Tyre Reviewer gave them a good score for a budget tyre, and at £50 each fitted, there a bargain
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    Bloody bargain there mate.
    It'll be interesting to know how they wear and perform over the life of the tyre?
    For 50 quid a corner, I'm interested lol.

    If they last and are quiet and your happy then for £50 a corner you can't go wrong.

    I ran nankangs on my v70 and 850 had no probs at all.but I still prefer Avon zv5s but they are double the price a corner though.

    Sounds interesting! Another tyre definitely not to be overlooked (but certainly not as cheap) is the Hankook K110 V12 Evo. Set of 4 225/45 17 cost £360 fitted and they're excellent. So impressed with them.

    Yeah, I've heard good things about those, but for another £44, you could
    Have TWO sets of Nankangs fitted

    It's all relevant though

    £202 fitted is very good value, I paid £275 (ish) for my 4 tyres in May and that phoning around and haggling. I'll see if my local ATS does them when I need new tyres and how much they want for them as I generally change tyres in 4's anyway.

    Regards
