165/50/15 in your area?

Post by vw-po-low »

Right. I've been searching for weeks upon weeks to try and find anyone near me that will supply 165/50/15 Tyres to go on my ATS Cups, they all say their an odd size or they've never hurd of them. I've come across Nangkans for £35.10 per tyre deliverd.

I've hurd mixed views on Nankangs. Some people hate them others say they have never had a problem.

Only problem with having four new tyres.. its expensive :(

If anyone is after 165/50/15 and can't get them in your area for love or money go on http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html

they supply
Bridgestone Potenza RE 040 £50.40
Nankang NS-2 £35.10

Prices include Vat and delivery!

just thought this may help.

Wow, even Dutch retail prices are far lower then that! For both the Nankang and Bridgestone tires.

Tyretraders.co.uk

The problem is that the bridgestones are made in batches and will only appear on the site when a new batch arrives.

If it's an conselation mate, I'm using 165/50 Nankangs, and I think they're pretty good tyres. Only thing I don't like about them is the tyre wall is damn ugly!!

Just seen on Camskill Performance that their 165/50 R15 Bridgestones are £48.50... also if you have a bulging wallet you can get some Toyo R888s from Black Circles... :D About £79 each.
