tyre choices

[Nathan_MAZDA2]

hey guys and gals

i need 4 new tyres for some 17" alloys I've bought, more about those later.
what brand do i buy!?
these are the ones I'm looking at i think unless people have some recommendations!

the prices are in:

Nankang NS2                          - £147
Falken FK452                          - £217.88
Yokohama parada spec 2          - £229.50
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110   - £239.32

i think I'm swaying towards the Yokohama's sort of middle of the range...

you can see my budget is £250 MAX so please don't tempt me by suggesting really good but expensive tyres lol

 
cheers
Nathan

i have just had two yokohama s-drive fitted to the front it's a very good tyre loads of grip and quiet too  (compared with the original toyo's) i paid £131 for the two so £229.50 for four is pretty good (my car is a 1.5 sport)

i think im sold on the yoko's
thats an ebay price for just delivered becuase im getting my wheels refurbished i will get they refurbing them to fit my nice new tyres.

=D

The only problem with yoko's is they are a very soft compound so they don't last very long.
But other than that they are a good tyre.

I know you said not to tempt you with more expensive good quality tyres but you have to remember that the only thing connecting you to the road is the tyres. You should never skimp on tyres. Not ever.

Well i've gone for the Yoko's hopefully they last.
im not an overly aggressive driver so i should be ok.
thanks guys!
