Tires YOKOHAMA or NANKANG

Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.

Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.

Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.

As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.

They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.

Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.

Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.

Ending up going with some Yokohama Geolandar CV G058. Had em for 8 days now. I have noticed my fuel economy is slightly better on the G058s

I have the Yokohama Geolander AT. Great on the road, off road, and in the rain!

I've had NS-II on my car for the past 4 years. For daily driving these tires will do just fine. Wet grip is alright and they're not terribly loud. They don't compare to Michelin Pilot Sport tires I ran before but they also don't cost anything close to Michelins.

Those tires are death traps in snow and ice. No sipes, no studs, hard compound... You're going to be on hockey pucks.
