i had these not so long back,i loved the grip they gave,,and just look on ebay ive found there cheaper than all the tyre places by me! the same tyres from the place near me added up to £340 fitted! i saved £100 altogether.

what are these nkang sport tyre's like(budget)??

[jimmyb 2]

i aint sure what they are like mate,the toyo`s or yokos`s are both decent tyres tho,worth the extra i would say personally,as tyres are overall 1 of the most important things,(in my eyes anyway,lol)

[Special K 81 0]

im with you jimmy, especially as i ride motorbikes too, people spend money on power etc and bits and bos and by budget tyres which do the job...dont get me wrong but the only thing keeping you on the road is the tyres buddy!! ive just ordered the toyo px4's good all rounders by the look, good in wet and dry for 188 free postage. Should be here tues, wrap the wheels i have in boxes in them and get them on,...then on to the next jobs.lol

I've had the toyo PX4's on mine for just about a year and a half. I replaced the two on the front a couple of weeks ago with the same albeit 205/40/17's. . Good tyre in the dry and the wet . They also look good not that it matters too much though.

I bought them from Wheelbase via flea bay also and they delivered very quickly.

I was going to go for the T!-R's as I've heard good things about them but wanted to keep the same tryes all round. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the PX4's though Karl.

Kwik Sh*t are tea leafs. Watchdog last week was the icing on the cake.

My mate went in there to get two front tyres for his 4 Motion (18's). They quoted him £90 each. I can't remember the make but I went onto the Camskill website while we were on the phone and the same tyres were £65 each delivered the next day. After a little "checking" Kwik Fit somehow managed to supply and fit the pair for £130 and included tracking in that price?

T1R are very good, good levels of grip and they last a fair amount too. My wheels came with yoko parada spec2 which are also alright, better than any other yoko ive had, but when they are bald theyre getting replaced with T1R again. The PX4 are just below T1R in the range but are still good tyres. I was in the tyre fitters yesterday for the girlfriends car and the PX4 is definitely the better looking tyre, the tread pattern looks more sporty
