Whys that Bob?

Do you reccomend a matched set too?

I know that MGF's or TFs can be very skitish with non matched tyres, or just the wrong tyres.

I have Nexen N2000's on the back of my NA at the moment.

They are hilarious due to the lack of grip. I won't miss them once my Advans with Kumho's go on.

Nexens killed me in my n/a. I'm now dead. They need a warning label 'will find the closest the ditch'

OR, go to a track day and turn them into skid marks and smoke. It's a lot more fun!

I went through 6mm in a matter of hours, only spun it once too and that was running slightly wide on an airfield track, touched some of the crap on the outside of the track and it stepped out.

My mate in his s/c mx5 had a right laugh following me all day, said the thing was barely in a straight line the entire time.

I've found the Falken the best tyres for the 15". Nice and compliant and progressive in the way they let go. Good road tyre and having the 15" wheels really helps on the terrible roads we have in the UK.
