I've got Nankang snow tyres for the depths of winter only, but I wouldn't even entertain putting the summer tyres on any car regardless of power.

i suppose 8hrs and 35 minutes isn't bad for some French clutter with Chinese rubber bands on it.

My golf had triangles fitted to the front when I got the car, 3 days later they were replaced with eagle f1s

I sold them on through gumtree and the guy that bought them was going to use them on a focus RS
When I asked him if he was sure they would be suitable for a car like that he just told me that they are z rated and he won't be going any quicker than that  :laugh:

Somehow, triangular tyres don't sound as if they would work very well.

I think it's the stopping and any sort of turning that they struggle with.
