Got a few of those around my area. They are much bigger than your normal "lane marker". Imagine a sliced football lengthways - thats about their size & height. They are used in my area to prevent people making 2 lanes out of a one lane road (especially at or near intersections). From my obseravtions over the past 6 months, aprox 10% of them subsequently become detached from the road surface (they appear to be held on with molten tar/mastic).

Nankangs being ****? I've read on this forum where some people think they're the bees knees.

When it comes to tyres, everyone has their own personal opinion of what's good and what's crap. If everyone liked the same tyre, there would be a lot of unemployed people in the industry and alot less querying on this forum about tyres.

Please read the manual carefully, as the these manufacturers spent millions of dollars making sure it is perfect.....Now why are there so many problems with my car, when I follow the instructions to the letter?....Answer, majority rules round here
