chrisd Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I know that this has been raised a few times recently, but I need to replace my 2 front tyres - currently AO48. As they are now no longer E-marked, I see that 2 of the most obvious replacements are either Nangkang NS-2R or Toyo R888R tyres. Does anyone have experience of both of these that would offer a comment?It's for mostly road use with occasional trackdays on a 1989 Crossflow Supersprint.TaETA - 185/60 R13 wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadsport06 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 R888 are better for the seven than A048. You don't get the tram lining as the side walls are softer. No experience with the other (my experience with A048 and R888 is with 14" wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyldeflier Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have R888R on 14 " superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markiebabes Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 ChrisI run R888 13" med compound.I haven't tried the R888R but hear good things. Same as 48's in the wet maybe slightly better. Agree with the above and having run A48s Toyo's do ride better,not as stiff on sidewalls!If you wanted to try a set I think my Trackday wheels have some "road life" left or just track them . Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisd Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks for the replies - and thanks for the offer Mark.Looks like no-one has any thoughts on the Nangkang tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
