turbomuz Member 209 Member For: 19y 8m 8d Location: Canberra Posted 09/03/06 09:46 PM Share Posted 09/03/06 09:46 PM I've had 19" Nankang NS2 for about 5000km now. They seem to be wearing OK and grip and noise I would say is minimally different from the original Dunlops. Of course there are better tyres around but probably not at their price. I'll be giving them a workout next week at Wakefield so if you see me doing 360's mid corner then you will know that they're no good (or that I'm a driver).Muz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not fault them in any way. They were on it when she bought the car and has since bought more of the same as they are that good. About $110 a tyre for 17s.Oh, hers are NS1s - don't think there would be much difference though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyXR6T04 Member 1,299 Member For: 19y 7m 2d Location: Canberra Posted 10/03/06 01:25 AM Share Posted 10/03/06 01:25 AM I have ns2 nankangs on my 19s. For daily road driving I have had no issues. I've had no issues in the wet, and they have given more then enough grip in the dry. Perhaps not the best for the track when you're pushing your car for a good lap time.But for everyday normal driving, they're fine... I'd rather use these for my daily driving, and then buy some decent quality tyres for track or drag days (I wouldnt use my 19s for a track day anyway)I've done a bit over 10,000km on mine, and they still look as new. Besides, I dont drive crazy on the road anyways, so a high performance tyre is a waste of money for my purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are excellent for the price and are good wearing and good in the wet and dry.You wont be disappointed.Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
