I always buy Nankang's or Kumho's off mytyres.co.uk and have always found them to be long lasting & reasonably priced.

Yep, ZZ3's (235/40/18).

Not too impressed I'm afraid, bad tramlining and they don't get sticky when they're hot.

Also, they seem fine when it's really wet, (raining and standing water on the road) but they don't give much confidence on a greasy or damp road.

Personally I'm going back to Michelin Pilot Sport 2's when they're up for replacement.

Another shout for these, put them on 3 months back and are IMHO the best tyre i have used and I have tried them all.. Didnt rate the avons, toyos quite good, next best was the eagle f1 and the P zeros win in my eyes.

I've got Eagle F1's on at the moment, have nothing but good words for them, they stick like **** to a blanket. Had mine on for 18 months and done about 25,000, still got a couple of mm left,

Going to be trying the Toyo's next as that's what is coming with my new set of wheels

Atleast I'll be able to compare the two
