I had some fitted today. £182 for four, fitted and balanced.
205/50 VR15
They might be rubbish or they might surprise me. Either way the NCTs were seriously old and well past their best

Re: Nankang
I've used these on my '87 Excel. They were fine; those on the rear wore rather quickly but, at the price, whose grumbling?

Got to to a few laps on a tack today rather unexpectedly. The Nankangs coped rather well

Re: Nankang
Interesting to see. I was looking online and I have never heard of any of the makes available! Falken , Nexen, Maxxis. Anyone tried them on 205/60 14's?

Re: Nankang
there is a lot more choice at 195/60 R14, with modern tyres you shouldn't miss the tread width...and it should stretch too much?
Toyo's and Continentals available in that size....toyos also available in 205/55 R14

Looking through past threads very few seem to be on 14" rims.
