Technical £95 for a tyre and tracking

[Curtis]

Nankaangs I took them off of the back of my old golf GTI . that car swapped ends 3 times under breaking into roundabouts .
this wasnt at silly speeds either,damp ish at 50 mph going from 5th to 3rd and woooosh arse of mk3 over the right shoulder .

I changed them for a set of yokos and it never happened again even in the wet .

a friend of mine just got a new subaru lagacy GTB with Nankaangs on the front he laughed when i called them ditchfinders but took them off 3 weeks later and replaced them with potenzas , now he can steer again

Liam, laugh at me but I am having them on my 16v engined Cinquecento. I do like to have the car looking standard and have ended up with them as in my opinion a better choice than the Pirellis.
I am far from claiming that they are the best tyre you can get but I am satisfied with them being 165-55-13. If I would go for a different profile I look somewhere else.
Looks like nobody wants to test drive my Cinquecento anymore.

I wouldn't go that far

Both will be crap likely.

@ Oldschool, don't worry, I'll resist the temptation to test your Cinq.

may be i should have said is one crap and one more crap then

i ee theres a lot of hate for them on lots of forums, this is the only thread i have ever seen on a forum where someone recomends them, there is aguy on essemcc who sells them, people post after he offers them forsale saying they crap and he dont reply to say he thinks they are good
