Not another thread about this, I thought it was last week when someone asked the same question?
Does no one use the search function anymore?

That had the makings of a class wind up too :sad: :grin:

But here you go...



 165 40 R17 Nankang NS2

The 165 refers to the width of the tyre, the 40 is the side aspect and R17 refers to the size of wheel it'll fit.

If you want them check out this site.

www.mytyres.co.uk they do tyres in the pic for 58.00 a corner plus fitting.

Happy?

They are twitchy and not everyone can live with them... might not be worth trying if you want it to feel the same as before. I don't find they affect the handling much, I throw mine into corners with just as much confindence, infact having got all new tyres it handles better than before!
