Toyo's :afro: Nankang's are ditch finders and the worst tyres I have ever used.

In my experience the only good thing that can be said about Nangkangs is they give AMAZING mileage... probably because they don't wear themselves out with any of this "gripping the road" nonsense  :rolleyes:

In dry and hot weather the Nankangs aren't too bad, but in every other scenario they're garbage.  :whistle:

Nankangs r out of the picture now. I've still got a week to decide between toyos and uniroyal rainsports.

Well if they're the options I'd go for the Uniroyal now.

.... and not even looking at other tyres will be having Rainsports fitted to the new wheels next week!
Mine will be 205/45/16 and at around 80 quid a wheel not bad.
