I considored Nankangs heard a lot of good stuff about them...

running Dunlop 9000`s front and Conti Contacts or rears ( 235/45/17`s) i think

For the miles i do - hard to tell - i have only done 4000miles in 18 months of omega owning.... :( but they look nice all round and black n stuff   ;D

I have Goodyear Eagle Ventures all around on mine, I find them brilliant.

Jaime does not like them because they aint very grippy, but mines a 2.2 soooo who cares?  ;D

Got 15k out of them so far, according to the service history they were changed about 10k before i got, so thats 25k miles so far.

Looking at the ware rate i should easily get another 10-15k out of them.


My had has the record, he had dunlop on his facelift when he first got it, he did 50k on a set!  :o

Think our secret is not to corner like Jaime  ;) - Going in a straight line, we do normal speeds i usually cruise at slightly under 80 on the motorway as the car feels best then. But i never corner roundabouts very hard, i chuck it around country roads, but never take roundabouts that fast.

I think they are pretty good....seeing as they were only £45/tyre + fitting £7/tyre.

Did you manage to get them locally Tim? , coz i couldnt and had to get them off the internet

I run AVON ZV3 on elite wheels, it sticks on the road like sh**t on a blanket, but again it might be due to the suspension rather than the tyres. Most important feature is that they are quiet.
