ClarkieV6 swears by Nangkangs, and can get them dirt cheap!

Is it an MK1 V6 / Mk2 V6?

I had mk2 wheels on my V6, and I got:

215/45/18
245/40/18

both Contisport contact2's. Were very grippy and cost around £450 for the set.

Don't be suckered into getting Michelin's! Those 205 section fronts are sooo pricey!

Thought about some Toyo T1-R's. Anyone used them on a Mk 1 V6??

 

[Fred@BTM]

205/50 17 front
235/45 17 rear????

Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. Crap in the wet, weak and bouncy sidewalls - not what you want on a rear-engined motor!

Goodyear Eagle F1's sweet if want some slightly cheaper

How much is it for a set of Nangkangs for a mk2 and what kind of mileage do you get out of them - 4 trackdays a day and rest town driving? Just trying to get an idea of running costs.

 

[Richy123]

Damn I meant 4 trackdays a year not a day.

Im not sure on the price of them but clarkies vee was so good around the track with them.
