Just been looking at tyres for my mini and have seen these tyres are now on the market.

Look as though they compare well with yoko's and falkens.
Is anyone running them? What's your opinion of them ??
Nankang 165 60 12 Tyres.

They're certainly a good price. Worth a go I reckon.

Nanking have been on the UK market for 10 years or more now. They were cheap and nasty but they must be improving now. Think they are involved in Motorsport now also.

Because on paper the Nankang are a better tyre and then the Yokos are near 100 quid more for a set of 4.
