mate, if you got a 1.8 ZVH traction will be a big issue anyway. why make it worse fitting ditch finders on it?

i wouldn't put Nankangs on a golf buggy

right ok thats Nankangs out of the question then...

Toyo Proxes T1-S then?

Tiff I'd love to spend loads of money on good tyres but I just haven't got the cash at the mo and its quite urgent as theres a chunk missing out of one of them and it keeps deflating...

I put 4 proxes T1-R's on my 3dr last year and they were excellent and they weren't that much more than the T1-S's, i'd go for them
