Last set of Medium A048's I had, the fronts lasted less than 3000 miles

 

Try it with slightly dickey alignment, ours have barely lasted 1000miles but they are great tyres in the dry. Not sure how they score highly in the wet, I found them awful. So bad we picked up a 2nd set of wheels with A539s on.

As Sprocket said before;

the road legal alternative of A048 are the NS2R.

Haven't seen them on a mini actualy,

don't know if they are good on wet,

how many miles they last,

and if they look nice....

    • Using the latest tyre technology, the new NS-2R boasts massive performance for both road and track. Available in a growing size range from 13” up to 18”, the NS-2R is not a tyre to be overlooked by anybody looking for high performance rubber.

    • The NS-2R has been the control tyre for race championships such as the English and Scottish Compact Cup, Tegiwa Civic Cup, M3 Cup and MaX5 championship, the NS-2R is proving very popular in the pits and amongst driving enthusiasts.

  • Whilst most track tyres only have one thing in mind, the NS-2R hosts an array of talents, not only as a fast tyre, but as a consistently fast tyre, lap after lap come rain or shine. The tread design also gives the driver the confidence to drive to and from a race meeting or track day in dry or often wet conditions without the need to change tyres at the event. The NS-2R is available from all of our Nankang performances centres.

 

TREADWEAR index:120 (track*), 180 (street*) and the new 100/80 (race*)

 

* All compounds are road legal with the exception of certain sizes, please speak to you local Nankang performance centre for information

 

 

That's what their website says ..

I looked at these on minispares website and reading their description I didn't think they were going to be road legal:

Competition only / track day tyre, 180 (medium) compound.

Nankangs website also says they are available in 120 (track) compound, but I can't find them anywhere!
