   Nakangs last forever, but have zero grip in the wet and not much more in the dry. Heard good things about yokohama S-drive tyres though - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/195-45-15-YOKO...d=p3286.c0.m14

    Goodyear eagle f1's give fantastic grip on my car. Not all that cheap though.
    
    have had experience with nankang ns2's and for the money they really aren't bad.
