Roadsport06 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 16-18 psi with 14 inch R888. Very happy with them. Great in dry, better than Avon ZV3 (assume similar to ZT7) in the wet. Side wall isn't too stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Tin Man Posted April 20, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just replaced my A021's with Nankang NS-2R 185/60R14 and they are much quieter on the road. They have a B wet weather rating which is why I bought them. The 888' have an E wet weather rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opplock Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I've now done about 150 road miles on NS2Rs (14") and am very impressed. Especially so with wet weather performance after 20 mile drive to Brands Hatch yesterday morning. Conditions started as "take the tintop" weather and after 10 miles or so encountered the aftermath of a cloudburst with road completely awash in several places. No loss of grip or twitchiness even in serious standing water. In both wet and dry conditions I am driving with same confidence as I had in AO21s. I'd been using them for 25+ years including race use in early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Tin Man Posted May 12, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted May 12, 2021 Very happy with my NS-2R having run AO 21's for twenty years. Think I made the right choice, though I think they will wear quickly if one does a lot of miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viblue7 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Is the XL rating for the 14" size significant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 My 13 inch nankang ns2r are XL rated to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Stamp Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Any new recommendations for replacing old Avon ZF3's on a 14" Roadsport SV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted September 8, 2021 Member Share Posted September 8, 2021 Used on road or track or both? And how important is their performance in very wet conditions?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 From reading various threads the current favourites are Uniroyal Rain Experts for touring / wet conditions and Toyo R888s for more spirited driving / track days but are OK in the wet if you drive carefully.I run 888s in 13" and in the dry they grip very well. They are good in the wet but break traction if accelerate hard. (Most tyres will on a seven TBH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opplock Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 After almost 6 months I'm still very happy with NS2-Rs. Road use only in conditions ranging from dry to monsoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
