Hi all,

I currently have 225x35x18 TOYO TR1 on the front and I am thinking of changing to 235x35x18 NANKANG NS-2R.

Just wondering if anyone tried the Nankang rubber on a Tuscan?

Cheers

You mean "Nankang No Grips"... sorry couldnt resist. On a car like a Tuscan Id avoid budget tyres, hedge finders etc at all costs.

Used to have Nankangs on a golf GTI and they did superb wheels spins in the wet like a dragster warming up biggrin

Please tell me you're not serious? Tuscans are edgy enough on proper tyres....

The guy in the garage said they were excellent and if not better than R888 road legal track tyre they are pitched at.

They are some good reviews on the interweb.

If your after something comparable to 888's I'd look into federal 595rsr's.

They're nice and sticky and seem to get good reviews from independent folk in comparison to 888's
