    Default Cheap 18 inch tyres? or to cheap to last?

    Ive just found these tyres on ebay at 320 for 4 they are bloody cheap.

    Just wondering everyones opinion on them and whether you have used them or tyres like them.

    How long would they last compared to a more well known 18 tyre, goodyear ect.

    hey bud i just had a gander at the ad i used to be a tyre fitter and these are pretty shyte theyre exactly the same as brands like clear, wanli shit like that. they do the job but cause they are such a hard compound the wet performance is dismal at best dry theyre ok if its just to get u by then u should be right

    and yellow sea are just as bad. pinso or vsp as they are here never heard of them but alot of those tyres are just chinese crap. but most importantly make sure the tyres u buy are load rated to ur car

    Alright well my plans are all up the shit again. I messaged to the bloke asking if he had four of the Nankang NS-2 in stock and he has said no. I had read some pretty good stuff about them to
    He has since replied and said he will do the NS-20's for the same price, these are usually ten dollars more each tyre.

    Are the NS-20's a good tyre? are they better than the NS-2's?
