I'm about to buy a set of alloys for my E39 5 series beemer and have been offered the above tyres as part of the package. Having had neither of them in the past I wanted to know what peoples views on them are! The Avons are £50 more than the Nankangs. Size wise the fronts will be 235/35/19 and the rears 265/30/19's. Bearing in mind its not a track car and is only used for poodling about town and the odd long journey!!!!!! Would i be better off paying the extra for the Avons or wouldnt it really make much difference?

Any help would be

Nankangs = death .

Had some on my first saff, they overheated and blew out the side walls

tyres are one of the most important parts of your car never skimp on price with them

I had Avon ZZ3's on my Evo and they were great

ive never had a problem with zz3's

nankangs are also known as 'ditch finders'

never skimp on quality - price is not necessarily an indication of quality

had a set of nankangs on my merc for a year or so and they were fine, car has the same sort of usage as yours, i personally wouldnt have bought them new they were just on the car when i got it, for an extra 50 id go with the avons
