some more pics on there buddy

looks nuts but not very wide so I'm guessing the handling wil be a bit odd :/

correct me if I'm wrong tho lol

LOL @ 175/70/14's on a 10x14 from www.tyrestretch.com :lol:

hahahaha crazy

I don't think i'd have the nerve to go with a 165 on an 8 looking at kams pic, in a staright line maybe but on corners :?

185/45 are best on an 8j....

the fact kam can stick his car key in between the tyre edge and where his tyre seats and let air out is kinda excessive! :lol:

potenzas stretch so much better than nankang in 165/50 guise

165/50 on an 8 is STRETCH.

185/45/15 nankangs are good but you wont get hold of them anymore, i searched high and low for the 'NS2' tyres and they're discontinued :(

These were my 165/50/15 Nankang 'NS2' tyres on my 15x8 Schmidt ML's...

Ha it looks funny doesn't it? I actually know the lad who did that tyre, he's called Matt and he's from Leeds, just proving a point really i don't think he actually thinks it looks good lol!

Agreed, mine used to corner RUBBISH!

184/45 are best but it was only nankang making them and i dont think you can buy them anymore.

Also, potenzas are good but because of the soft compound mine lasted literally a few months, nankangs last way longer than that!

mytyres have 185-45 naknkangs still

Fair enough, i think the odd place online may still have them but every tyre place i tried locally said they were discontinued and couldnt get them. I reckon it's last reserves on mytyres lol, they wont be around for much longer :(
