Hi all,

What sort of tyres do you use ? I remember when 185/60/13s used to be commonly used and all manufacturers. Offered them.

Now I can only find :-

Nankang Econex NA-1
Toyo Proxes CF2
Yokohama A539

Does anybody have any feedback on these tyres ?

Thanks, Richard

Hi Dave, Sprint alloys are 13s. Are you using different wheels ?
Thanks, Richard

On my 1850 with Sprint wheels I have 175/70 x 13 Uniroyal Rain Expert which work well and look well in my opinion. They were good value to at £40.68 each including VAT. I believe that 175/70 x 13 was the original Sprint tyre size.

This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.
