Vauxhall Tigra Mk1 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Nankang NS2 given 70% (185-55-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
These are fitted to my lowered tigra, which hasn't had the camber adjusted as it's a big job, so wear is a big issue. The last set of tyres I put on [Barum] only did around 4 thousand miles and were at the legal limit. These however, given that they are a similar budget price, have shocked me by how good the wear has been. They've done around 5k so far, and still have about 5mm left. If they were fitted to a car with perfect camber alignment, I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't last for 15-20k miles! Hopefully mine will last past 10kmiles even with my Camber setup.
The grip is very good in dry conditions, probably the best tyre I've used for pushing through corners or entering roundabouts. It's a little different however in the wet. Given my driving style, I have to take my foot off the throttle long before normal in wet conditions as they do start to slip away. But thankfully they do re-grip very fast as soon as you give them chance and stop pushing.
I've only given them an average comfort rating due to it not being possible to tell how much noise or vibration they really make given the cars sporty suspension and ride.
Overall, for the price, they are a great tyre and will definately buy them again
