LeeM Posted 15October, 2018 Report Share Posted 15October, 2018 Have a look at Nangkang AR1's. That's what I'm fitting soon. Half the price of most other brands and from what I've read online (I haven't tried them yet) they seem to be a good tyre just not in the wet, yet I dare say any sport purpose tyre would be pretty crap in the wet too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobs Posted 15October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 15October, 2018 HI Guys, thanks for all the helpful advice. After hours of research - it appears the only manufacturer offering both the sizes I am seeking in the same tread pattern is Toyo T1R's. Tempe Tyres stock the fronts ( 205/55 ). Now just have try and find the rears ( 225/50 ) locally if I can. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
