.......any one got / used any other cheaper alternatives to suggest other to the Michelins?

Clarkie runs Nankangs doesn't he?

Anyone else tried other manufacturers, and with what success?

The clock is ticking on this one as I need to get it sorted ASAP.

Cheers in advance for any help, Steve.
 
look on my tyres mate, if its rears theres alot choice, its the fronts your restricted on as theres only bridgestone and michelin and Toyo's (although i've only seen them on K-tec)

The only option for fronts is to put 215/35/ 18's on (reccommended by me mate) as theres alot more choice
 
I got Nangkangs on the rear, had'em for 8,000 miles, still going strong. Quite like the way they look too, can't really complain especially when i only forked out £160 for the pair from mytyres -figured that they were worth the risk as the existing O.G. michelins had only lasted 5k. So far so good.

New tyres ... thought you'd only done 2300 miles from you comment in Bayliss' thread :shock:.

Correct, who said the tyres on the car were new?? :s

And without looking at the clock, I think its done around 2700 miles now.

The new wheels and tyres are sitting in my garage loft [smilie=cool.gif]
 
Continental sport contact 2 for me set of 4 for 492 all in fitted :) i use 215/40/18 at the front. Lots of threads on this site regarding tyres to - eh john? Martin
 
Martin, ffs don't encourage John, i'm waiting for it as we speak. In fact i'm suprised he hasn't hit me with it yet!
 
John should do a search wiki :) seriously though andy a tyre wiki sounds good i will have a go if no one else does but it wont be till early next week now. Martin
 
I just bought 2 Falkens for the front axle of my GT4 today, the 452's have a very good rep at present.

Well i've got some more part worns that i'm going to put on for now, but I think i'm going to give the Nankangs a go once they're worn.

I will report once they're fitted etc as to how they perform.
