205/40 15 Tyre Review Highlights

Avon CR500 rated 94% while driving a Caterham Superlight R300
Driving on track for 6000 spirited miles
Had a few sets of these on the Caterham. Fantastic tyre, Averaging around 4000 miles a set and they're mainly track days so you could easily get more. Minimal experience of wet driving but given the power and weight of the car it was much better than I was expecting, water clearance very efficient. Would definitely recommend!

Nankang NS2 rated 27% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
These tyres are seriously leathal in wet weather, I bought a set of wheels with these tyres on and they are actually scarey to drive "properly" on. They might be ok for pottering about in the dry around cities etc. but that is it!
