Look too small IMO, but if you're happy with them, that's all that matters.
Nice tread on the Nankangs though.

I believe they are super light weight and super strong. These ones I believe are gravel rally spec or something. Reason for the group buy was that a few people wanted the real deal as this is what the touring cars actually used to run?

I'm pleased to see you can perform under pressure Sam. Last thing we want is your humour getting a bit flat. I suggest you jack it in now.

I am a little concerned we are turning this thread into a bit of a blowout. It's skidded off topic and it will ruin what has so far been a Goodyear.
