Another convert to the theory that all tyres are not equal, even in road going summer ones?

The wheels look really good in gloss black jaceyboy and I like that the tyre fitter appears to have lined up the Michelin logos nicely with the spokes/valve going by the wheel only shot :afro:

TBH bro I think the Nangkang NS2r's are the best for putting the power down. I had a 350bhp fiesta ST and all I did mod wise for traction was a rear engine mount and the Nangkangs and I was pulling 4.4 0-60 on British roads when dry and it felt like it had a LSD when cornering. It was absolutely crazy! I wonder what it would have been like with an LSD.

However, they are cheap and do last longer than you think, but they have very hard tyre walls so it does compromise the ride a bit, but nothing crazy, still dailyed the car.

Not compromising the ride on a Fiesta ST leaves it very open to interpretation when we consider what the factory ride is like to start with!  :grin:
Good to hear you were happy with your NS2’s though  :smiley:
