I`m looking around for tyres at the moment and have noticed a few mini parts suppliers selling Nankang TR10 tyres that seem to me and Google a trailer tyre or at the least a commercial tyre.

 

I can`t find a picture of the sidewall to ascertain if it says trailer use only as sometimes in small letters close to the bead.

 

I might be wrong here but "TR" gives a bit of a clue as to their intended purpose I guess.

 

I`m going to be buying some Yokohama or Blockley tyres depending on the width I decide but it just seemed a bit odd as they seem a bit dodgy for a mini maybe ?

On my 2nd set of Blockleys now. Great tyres!

ADO Equipment are now selling 145’ 10” tyres (non trailer), cheaper than that of yoko or blockleys by quite a bit

Looked at the makers web page?

There are two different TR10s in 10". One for trailers/trucks, one for cars.

As above the Nankang 145 R10 comes in 2 different versions:

Nankang TR10 145/80R10 - passenger car - load rating 69, speed rating S (180kph)
Nankang TR10 145R10 - light truck & trailer - load rating 84, speed rating N (140kph)

The 145 Nankang is the only widely available locally stocked one here (Australia) and they are a much more affordable option than importing a set of 145 tyres from the UK




I’ve put about 1000km on a set of the Nankang 165/70R10 tyres and I’ve been impressed so far. On my car they’ve been better than my last set of A008’s, and the main bonus is they are locally stocked (Australia) and about 2/3 the price of A008’s
