Anyone with experience?

2/3 the price of a 888 but are they a third shitter?

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I'll be using these on mine, cheaper on camskill than anywhere else I think. Not sure how they are but they've got to be better than a normal road tyre! Doubt very much they're 888 territory though.

Probably the same compounds as the ditch finders just with a fancy "track" tread cut into them

These have actually had a really really good review.

The name means nothing, I'd use them. They've got different compounds to choose from too. Soft/Medium/Hard

Its like kumho though. People dont rate the normal tyres greatly mid-range brand but the track tyre V70a immense tyres!

I have just bought some syrons to try on the front of mine after killing some PS Cups at Llandow



for £80 a corner worth a punt.

I've got Syron Race 1's on my civic all round at the moment as everyone loved them on the civic owners club.

I can't complain at all and will be buying another set when required!

I've just bought a set of these, they seem not too bad in the wet. I tried to make them slide, at the same speed my P-Zero's did and they just stuck.

Only £60 at the moment.

If I remember rightly Nankangs are Yokohama's budget range, the road tyres are pretty shocking in the wet, and squeel alot in the dry - so not sure how good these would be
