HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 2m 17d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 10/03/06 05:41 AM Share Posted 10/03/06 05:41 AM Have 2 x 90% tread 235/40R18's Nangkang NSII's. Ya want them?Go wider, some members have 255's or 265's and the wider surface on the road would obviously help but 235/245? Hmmm. Nope. Good in the dry, add water and try staying in a straight line in a stock Tlol.I'm going to try the Marshal Silica's. Aparently great in the wet and an excellent tyre for cornering, price I'm paying, lol, why not, have to be better then the Nankangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 19's and the alternatives were $200 - $300 a tyre dearer...It was a no brainer for me...Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xr6 typhoon Good for nothing member Donating Members 619 Member For: 20y 6m 28d Location: Sydney Posted 10/03/06 08:07 AM Share Posted 10/03/06 08:07 AM in the dry a bit more road noise with the windows down. In the wet not to bad just dont push them and I reakon I'll get twice the life over the dunlops which were replaced at 16000kms. If ya just want them to get around town you cant go wrong and when you decide to put on a show you can feel comfortable that they didnt cost ya $500 a corner!

Member 890 Member For: 20y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Tweed Heads Posted 10/03/06 08:47 AM Share Posted 10/03/06 08:47 AM I have the Nankang NS2's235/40/18 on the front265/35/18 on the backI reckon they are great value, cheap to buy and good wearing. Gripwise they are still pretty good, but not as grippy as the Dunlops.Yet, I like them, cause theres nothing wrong with a bit of sideways action But then, I love driving in the rain too Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go along with the verdict.I had to replace a damaged (from a phurken large pothole!!! ) tyre 2 days ago, and the price was acceptable to me... $190 for 235/40/18.As far as I'm concerned.... for a family runner that does the occasional workout with me behind the wheel, they look great... grip great.... and are priced fair.Why pay bucket loads of $$$$ unless you are looking for ultimate performance from your tyres...... which all let go in the wet if you try hard enough anyway???I reckon you could do a lot worse mate.....
