Need tyres againConfusedad: i've managed to kill 3 brand new Falken FK452's in 18 monthsConfusedhock:, combo of needing the Geo done and a million and 1 roundabouts where I live, anyways bit strapped at the mo so wondered if anyone's had experience of either Nankang or Federal tyres can get them at a good price but want to make sure there ok, would rather spend the extra and get Toyo's but if I can save a few quid and get a decent tyre at the same time then i'll go for themHuh

Cheers.

Are they wearing unevenly ?

Why don't you get the geo sorted, then your tyres will last a lot longer. Surely a worthwhile investment, even if you're strapped for cash ?

Otherwise you're just throwing money away on new tyres way too often.

All the rounabouts round here really don't help, I know I need the Geo sorting but you can't get points and a fine for Geo like you can with tyres and I just ain't go tthe cash to get both done at the mo so that's why i'm after decent cheap tyres if there is such a thing.

Tyres are a very personal thing IMHO.

After reading some reviews a couple of years back about Nexen N3000 and needing some tyres, I went for them, never looked back and always get them when I can, infact just fitted two on the front of my Aristo.

Have you tried not going sideways round the roundabouts? Big Grin
