UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Saw these on another forum for a total steal, only 2months old!!! What ya think? The tyres are Nangkang, anyone had them b4? Their 205/40/17.

Hey, nice i had nankangs on my old seat when i had it! They stuck like glue to the road! They were ace. Never felt unstable or ever felt loss of grip.

i had nankangs on my tt comps when i got them, they lasted about 4 days, they were absolutely dire

so i guickly binned them in favour of some sticky toyo proxes
nice alloys though, how much? and are they marked at all?

I think the newer Nankyangangs are supposed to be netter (NS2 or 3?). The older ones I have tried and they were shocking.

The most expensive tyres I've ever had that were bad are these Yoko Paradas I'm running at the moment - lethal in the wet. The best value ones I've found (so far) is the BF Goodrich Profiler - they last for a long time (25k) and they are great in the wet.

Those wheels look good. Have you bought them?

Not bought them yet, left the guy an email sayin ill buy them so hopefully no one else has got in before me! There 2 months old, and not got a single mark on them! Goin for 200 quid!

I've got nankangs on my winter wheels, they're really good actually. I had toyos before, and was actually more impressed by these.

Well i'll see how they go tomorrow, goin to get them after a get ma exhaust done, its on the other side a scotland which is the same place where u get the APR remap! Wish a had the money to get stage two aswell

stage 2 is only an upgrade fee, not the full amount again, its only 125 + vat more mate, get it done, youll not regret it

Well been thinkin bout it for a whole half hour and am gonna get it done too Thought maself into it!! bEEN READIN THRO OTHER FORUMS AND THEY SAY NOT A LOTY OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO, WHAT SHOULD I BE EXPECTIN JEFF?

well on mine it was about 12 bhp difference, however, it was 50 ish bhp up in the mid range, where you drive it

you should expect a more instant throttle responce, followed by a bigger punch in acceleration

drivability i found was smoother, yet still very much hardcore

however, i do have mods that you dont, so may differ between the 2 cars

let up know what you find mate

took mine from 211 bhp up to 223 bhp and from 232ft/lb torque up to 271 ft/lb

Sounds good mate, will hopefully find a big difference between the downpipe, cat, and remap! Will let ya know tomorrow nite when a get home! Dont think i'll sleeo the nite lol
