they are fine for a daily driver mate, just dont run them if you drive hard and push your car hard all the time

 

[beatjunkie]

had some on my car when i bought them and they are shocking - absolutely awful in the wet!!

 

[Gary-Lew]

are you fitting them to a clio prima, if so they are fine mate. they would be no good for 172/182s etc because of the performance issues. but for a daily driver small wheels big profile they're alright

 

[cat171]

Clarkie runs (or used to run them) on his mk1 v6 - he swears by them !
He's done track days on them & everything.

On a 1.2 mk1, they are perfectly fine mate.

I've pushed too hard on PE2's and ridden the dirt like above!

Agreed! ^^ screech a lot on medium cornering, in the wet - dont do corners.

 

[samg1988]

i think for the sake of safety i might just get falkens instead. only tenner more per wheel

 

[beatjunkie]

what size tyre are you actually buying out of interest?

 

[Djw John]

Get some 15s and get some eagles for only £35 a corner!

195/45/15

need to be 45s to save any rubbing.

 

[beatjunkie]

£35 quid blimey where do you shop, or are we talkin 50 profile?
yeah need 45's def mate, u can apparantly get away with 50's but probly aint worth the hassle, eagles are £46 a corner mate on mytyres, do it!!ive got them on the front and are quality tyres compared to the nankangs (rear) as there pony!

 

[Djw John]

50 profile is £35 mate from mytyres

 

[d4nn3h]

I cannot believe this question was even asked! lol

 

[Harry_manback]

i have them on my 172, they were on when i bought it.
although they have very quickly turned into the racing slick versions!

 

[Leeshez]

I have just bought michelin exalto pe2s for mine. £77 a corner.

The man knows! be quick though as they are end of line and going fast

 

[kingz_n2o]

ns2 were fine on my old 1.2

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Good if you like going head first in the bush

 

[clioman]

my mate had nankang's on his saxo west coasts and they were so grippy. we couldn't believe it.
