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

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

Re: Tyres
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.
