Nankang NS 2

Since 1998 I've been driving with Conti or Bridgestone and than I realised that 3-5 season tires are just tragic and I decided to buy new Nankangs NS2. 225/45/17 are realy good. They are much more quiet than Dunlop Sport 2000 and Fulda Exelero. They are not feathering.I checked them in a quite huge rain and I wasn't disappointed. I wont dispute with fake drivers who claim that any new tires are hopeless. They should know that driving into a wall of rain on hot tires or braking in the rut full of water even with the most expensive tires can be dangerous... you cannot cheat the laws of physics. The new tire from a less known Porducent will always be better than multi-seasonal from best known. I have tested them in Corsa, Getz, Panda, AstryII, A3, A4, A6, C and E classes during winter and summer. I was very skeptical about the Nankangs but they suprised me positively..It makes no sense to overpay and buy expensive tyres when you can buy cheaper and comparable Nankangs. Read more Collapse

Wide tyres always equal much of expense. For now I was buying only High Performance tyres from well known brands. Summer- Uniroyal RainSport and Winter- Conti Winter Contact. This year it was to much for me to pay for Uniroyals and I have decided to go for Nankang NS 2. I asked a friend of mine who actually is much into motorsport etc. and he advised me that Nankang NS 2 are worth buying. In Scandinavia Nankang is just a hit and they are becomming more and more popular in the US and Australia. I do recommend Nankang NS 2 as in my opinion there is no point of wasting 800GBP for a new set of tyres as you can equip yourselves with a good performing tyre for a relatively low price.

I have these tyres for 3 years and I dont know from where all those positive reviews come. I drove a lot of kilometers on them and I can say that the only thing that is ok with them is the design. When it comes to driving in wet conditions youd better pray to the almighty. A bit of rain and ABS turns on all the time. They have M+S sign so they supoused to be all weather but when the first snow comes you must wear Winter tyres. These tyres doesn't stick to the snow at all. In addition Nankangs are very expensive considering such a bad braking. The only advantages are that they do not rub off quickly and they look nice. I will never ever buy them again.

I bought my Nankang NS 2 in the size 195/45R15 to fit my 7'' Zenders. I drive with Seat Ibiza 1.9TDi and I am very satisfied with my NS 2. The price / quality ratio is very good in this case. I wanted to have a bit cheaper tyres as I was not satisfied with my previous Bridgestones. Nankang NS 2 seems to be ok in my 130 BHP Ibiza. It doesn't matter whether it is rainy or the sun is shining, tyres perform pretty good in any weather condition. Right now the autum is about to come and my tyres are not afraid of it. The only disadvantage is that Nankang NS 2 is a bit less resistant to aquaplaning. All in all, NS 2 are worth my recommendation. Read more Collapse

In general I can compare Nankang NS 2 to my previous Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. One tyre has blown away so I had to buy 2 new tyres to fit my front axis. My choice has fallen on Nankang NS 2. Why? My last tyres were second hand ones, which actually effected with shorter life of those tyres. I was looking for 2 new tyres for not more than 120 GBP. Before I bought Nankang NS 2 I have read a lot of reviews and most of them were positive. I drove about 3000 miles right now and I have to say that Nankang NS 2 are awesome. Somebody wrote here that they are crap. I do not agree. With my 130bhp Ibiza they perform absolutely fine. Read more Collapse

Honestly I don't know who drives on these tyres and is satisfied with them. I have Mondeo MK4 and I decided to buy that crap. Since now I cannot understand why i bought them. They were quite good when they were new. After a season of driving they seemed to me not used to much but they were veeeery noisy. I was so desperate that I even changed the rear left bearing because i couldn't believe that the noise is caused by my "new tyres". The tread is a complete disaster. They are much more noisy than asymetric ones, Braking on wet road surface is almost impossible. I dont recomend it 4 sure. Read more Collapse

Good good tyre. Has done very well so far, good on dry surfaces and surprisingly good in wet despite running very low profile tyres. Excellent tread pattern. Made from a slightly different compound to other European manufacturers which is supposedly built to last. Upon my inspections, this is definitely become apparent. I'm happy. Only negative is that they are quite noisy however I knew they would and factored that in. It's been several months and noise has gone, so that could be due to wearing them in. From my experience I would recommend these. Read more Collapse

It is my 3rd set of Nankang NS 2. First two sets I had fited to my Honda Accord. They were definitely the best tyres I have ever had in my life .I was very pleased with them so I decided to buy my 3rd set of Nankang NS 2 to fit my Merc E Class. I had to balance them twice and finally they got properly formed on my wheel. My used continental that I had previously in that Merc was more silent and they used 0.5L less fuel. I will not buy them to my Merc any more. All in all i think that Nankang NS 2 is a decent tyre and they are worth the money. Read more Collapse

I bought Nankang NS 2 to fit my Leon 1.8T 180 bhp. I drove about 2500 miles in different weather conditions. I can trully recommend those Nankang NS 2. I had Pirelli P7000 and Continental ContiSport previously fitted to my car. WIth Nankang NS 2 my fuel usage got lowered in comparison to Pirelli. What is more NS 2 wears-off relatively slow in comparison to Continental. I am satisfied with my eastern tyres. I wanted to check them and compare their quality to well known brand ones and I think that Nankang NS 2 are definitely worth buying. Read more Collapse

I searched a long time before I decided to buy Nankang NS2. I've read a lot, but I know that oppinions are different one from another . I have Audi a6 1.8T 150HP,Maybe it is not a God of speed, but both at low and high speeds I found no noise, When I see people comparing Summer Tyres to Winter Tyres I'm a bit confused. I dont know summer tires, which would behave in the wet as in the dry (especially with the dynamic driving). I did already more than 10,000 km and didnt notice anything wrong. I would certainly recommend them. Read more Collapse

Hi. I bought my car and it already weared Nankangs NS2 with 6-7mm tread. They are average on dry road. Everything seems to be ok but when it comes to more agressive style of driving they are poor. I have 220BHP Audi. These tyres are very poor on wet surface I have to say that they slip and dont do well in puddles. It makes a lot of noise. I bought new NoiansWRG2 and they are much more quiet than Nankangs. Bigest advantage is the low attricction. But it seems that the manufacturer paid more attention to attriction than safety. Read more Collapse

I had become tired of the part worn garages/rip-off merchants; I learnt that for an extra £25 (per tyre) I could have safe and new tyres. I was never apprehensive in buying this brand because I know that Nankang has been going a long time and these are engineered in Taiwan; and for the price, it makes sense to purchase them. Since being fitted, they have proved to have good longevity and durability with no air loss unlike other cheap rubbish whose rubber degenerates quite quickly, I would certainly buy these again.. Read more Collapse

On dry conditions Nankangs NS2 are quite good tyres. They dont rub off as fast as Barum did. I drive 2 seasons on them and I can make 2 more for sure. If the rain falls youd better not drive. Wheels are blocking very fast. While moving you have to watch out because the grip breaks fast. You better get used to Aquaplaning. I dont advise you to drive trough puddles. To be a bit polite I have to say that the tread looks nice :)) I wont buy them again because driving in the rain makes me feel like driving on ice. Read more Collapse

In my opinion Nankang NS 2 are worth their price. I had previosuly fitted 165/70R14 and I decided some time ago to buy alloy wheels and brand new tyres. I did not want to buy second hand tyres from an unknown source. Initially I was prjudiced to eastern origin tyres but I decided to give it a go and I bought Nankang NS 2 in the size 205/40R17. After I have fitted those tyres to the rims and started using it i was shocked. Nankang NS 2 are just like the other High Performance tyres from well known brands. Read more Collapse

These are my second Nankangs Ns2. Last season i bought 2 of them to see how weel are they working. I put them onto my front axle in my AudiA3 1.8T 150HP and I have to say that they behave like tyres from well known manufacturers. No noise at all. Braking is OK. Now I decided to buy 2 more pcs and put them on my rear axle. Tyres are realy worth its price. It makes no sense to buy used tyres because after one season you can throw them away. Its better to buy Nankangs Ns2 coz they have waranty. RECOMMEND! Read more Collapse

I would definitely recommend - Nankang NS2 205/50R17 I bought them for my new Octavia 130km. High power and torque over 340Nm. I drove 3 seasons on them and I think about wearing them 4th season. Very low attriction. I drove 45k kms in summer. They grip very well. They are a bit noisy but its not an issue for me. Also they are bad on wet. They didnt disappoint me. Imo it is better to buy new cheaper tyres than 2 seasoned Pirelli or Goodyear. This year i changed car and I will buy Nankangs again. Read more Collapse

I drove 4k km on Nankangs NS2. Nice tread pattern, the price is ok. They handle quite good on wet surface if driving slow. When driving a bit faster into a sharp curve i felt that all of my tires were sliping, but fortnately nothing bad happened.The rolling resistance is quite big in comparison to Conti Sport Contact 2 which I weared before. Now on nankangs my average fuel use rised about 0.7l/100km and the speed went down about 15km. I dont recomend them for powerfull cars. Read more Collapse

I was forced to buy Nankangs NS2 because I was on buisnes trip and somebody cut of all of my 4 tyres. In the nearest fitting station they had only Nankangs avaliable. I have to addmit that I was lucky. Nankangs are as good as Dunlops and they supprised me with its quality. They rub off kinda slower... I know that It can be caused by harder rubber but the tread and the rubber mixture behave excellent on road (especialy wet road). They costed me 70GBP each in size 225/45R17 Read more Collapse

Hello I am writing this review for people in a similar situation as I was. Nankang tires were terrible. Fortunately Oponeo solved my problem in a very professional way. They took the tire back, examined it and found my right. I was offered three choices: cash, new Nankangs or other tires. I chose the third option and I took Pirelli Cinturato P7. Now I'm very happy with my Pirelli tires and i strongly recommend Oponeo as your tire supplier. Many thanks to Oponeo crew! Read more Collapse

Very good tyre. I drove just 1000km but I can say what I noticed. I bought Nankangs NS2 in the size of 235/45R17. I'm a bit fastidious customer. Last tyres that I had were Toyo and Dunlops. In addition I paid about 200GBP for a set. For the brand ones you have to pay about 400GBP+. The grip is nice, perfect in dry conditions. In comparison to Toyo they are much more silent. I recommend them for sure and Im considering buying them again. All the best! Read more Collapse

My review connects the 215/50R17 size - maybe others are better. In comparison to GoodYear Eagle NCT Nankangs NS2 give a sufficient handling. The problem is the noise which is generated by Nankangs. They howl so badly especialy while driving 80-100km/h. They noise is also noticeable while driving 50km/h. What is more - they are not round. It was noticeable when I went to fitting station to balance them. They had 1-2 mm bulges. I dont recommend them. Read more Collapse

I bought new car and it had Nankangs NS2 already. Its ok on dry conditions, quie silent, generaly speaking: OK/ But on wet road I'm not happy at all. Tyre had about 5mm of its tread - its quite a lot. I had one very dangerous situation while driving on them. I was entering the curve and my car just didnt want to tur. It just went straight. When somebody drives carefully and slow these tyres can be perfect for him. Read more Collapse

Very nice design. The noise level is moderate. Adhesion ok. They slip a bit when braking on wet, you need to be careful in deep puddles. Realy fine on dry surface. I bought them for the front axle, next year I want to buy a second set to the rear. I would recommend them, especially during sale (I paid 80GBP for 2). Good choice for the C class cars, with the average engine (my 2.2 DTI, 125 hp). Read more Collapse

I bought these tyres with a dose of doubt. as it occured later my doubts were unnecessary because they are brilliant. I have RWD in my car. 170BHP BMW e36 so i need good tires to transfer the torque to the tarmac. These tyres are brilliant even on wet road. It is waste of money when considering buying Goodyear or Continental. I recommend Nankangs NS2. I will buy them in the future for sure. Read more Collapse

Nankang NS 2 205/40R17 provides good tire tension. They are cheap and they dont rub off quickly. I drove 3 seasons (about 45-50 thousand km) and I think I will still use them. They perform well in the summer, but in autumn, when the temperature drops below 10 celsius degree I have problems with braking, especially on wet roads. You have to prepare for an early transition to winter tires. Read more Collapse

Superb tires in dry conditions. Perfect in tight corners. They behave very well while braking. ABS turns on only in extreme situations. On wet conditions they behave good as well. No aquaplaning at all.They are quiet and comfortable even with profile 35R16. I think that i will make 2 seasons on them. I had Fulda Exelero earlier and i dont recomend them. Nankang NS2 are much more better. Read more Collapse

I bought my car and it already weared Nankangs NS2. While driving 110/130km/h my steering wheel wobbled so I went to the nearest fitting station to balance them. There was a problem with balancing them but finnaly the guy there managed to do it. Besides they are realy dangerous on wet road. They don't do well while braking. I pray for winter to come and I will finnaly change them. Read more Collapse

I wanted to test them so i bought 2 Nankangs NS2 and i put them on my front axe. I was suprised with its quality. They are realy quiet. I drove about 3k km. I did braking tests on wet and dry road and they seemed fine to me so I bought next 2 for my rear axe. I drove them in winter and I do not recommend them. No braking at all. You have to change these tyres to winter ones! Read more Collapse

Drama, I drove 10 000 km on these tires and now they look more like 4x driven, I know what I say, because every day I use 3 different cars. I will never ever buy again tires that comes from far east.. Design: ok, Rolling resistance: ok ,Noise: OK. I think that in the Far East people do not brake and they dont drive in the rain coz these tire are not suitable for that at all. Read more Collapse

I bought them circumstentially for cheap money. I didnt expect too much but it occured that Nankangs Ns2 are realy good. They are silent, comfortable and they grip well in the corners. They dont lose their grip and the fuel use is lower in comparison to Fuldas which I used to wear. Interesting design with low attriction properties. I wasnt afraid driving 280km/h on them. Read more Collapse

Your service & delivery was excellent I cannot fault your web-site as it makes easy work to find the correct type of tyre at the price you want to pay !! I wouldn't go anywhere now other than "Oponeo" The local mobile "tyre fitter" is available & only charged me £12 / wheel & into this £2 was to take the old tyres away for re-cycling Glad I found your company Read more Collapse

I craved for Nankang NS2 but I strognly discourage it when you want to buy 205/55/R16. I got problems with balancing and i thought that it is caused by rims but when it occured later it Was tyres fault. In addition they were realy noisy. Now I'am waiting Oponeo to consider my complaint. I dont recommend them. You better save for tires from other manufacturer. Read more Collapse

I bought them on puropuse and I dont regret it. I had Fuldas and Toyo Proxes before. I cannot complain regarding its quality. You can compare them to tyres from well-known manufacturers. They are unrivaled if its about Price \ Quality ratio. The only disadvantage is that they have M+S sign what is strange. It is a bit confusing because it is a summer tyre. Read more Collapse

I bought one set o Nankangs 205/55R16 in 2011 and I was so impressed that I bought the same set for my wife but it wasn't that great. Tyres behave average in wet condition. This year I bought 225/45R18 and during the rain they are a total disaster. They are unpredictable I'm affraid of driving them in wet condition because my car just starts to dance. Read more Collapse

Nankangs NS2 are just great. I drove over 60k km and they still work. They didnt disapoint me. They are realy agressibve. My Vauxhall Omega 136KW is a heavy car, On wet they do very nice almost as well as on dry. Well-known brands such Fulda, Pirelli and Goodyear cannot compare to Nankangs NS2. I will definitely buy 235/45R17 again. Brilliant tyres. Read more Collapse

I wanted to change my tyres. I searched in second hand tyre shops when suddenly I came to the conclusion that it is better to buy a new cheaper tyre than already used from a well known company. I've chosen Nankang NS2. My car is a quite powerfull, its RWD without traction control, I am positively surprised by the quality. I recommend them! Read more Collapse

Nankang NS2 behave realy well when it comes to driving on dry road . As for driving on wet asphalt you must be careful because you may lose handling realy fast. If you want to brake on wet road surface better pray because you will dont have any handling. You shouldn't save money by buying these tires. I dont recommend them for sure.!!!! Read more Collapse

Tires tend to wobble, which certainly can affect the bearings. It is noticeable when driving 120 km\ h - 140 km\ h Due to attrition of tyres the beating decreases. Excelent in the rain but when the road surface will become a bit snowy you can lose control of the car, Not suitable for winter driving. Recommended for city drivers. Read more Collapse

I use these tyres as I am looking for value and durability. I am happy with them because I get 30000 miles from the rears and 40000 miles from the fronts. As I use the car for chauffeuring this reduces my costs compared to top quality brands. I have never had any issues with these tyres and have been using them for over 4 years Read more Collapse

I bought in Germany my Mondeo and it wear these tyres already. I was a bit suprised because I didnt know that brand. The tyres were 6 months old and they look awesome- the tread seemed so aggressive. I drove 4 seasons on they (about 60 000km) and now I bought Nankangs NS2 again. Price \ Quality are realy suberp. Recommend! Read more Collapse

Had used conti;s and Mich and for the price the NS2;s are far better if you drive like and idiot to test your tyres out in the wet most if not all tyres will trip the ABS system or the ESP system thats what its designed to do. No problems braking and the noise level a lot lower than the Mich tyres. All in all not bad.... Read more Collapse

Nankang S2 were wobbling and they were hard to balance .... on 3 different balancers ....in 3 different fitting stations ....I read a lot of negative opinions regarding these tyres and I ignored it. Fortunately, the complaint has been accepted and Oponeo paid me all the money back ..... I strongly don't recommend them. Read more Collapse

Nankang NS2 look pretty interesting, They arent too noisy, but the problem arises once the car enters a puddle which cause a cushion effect.They probably lack in discharging water ! Sometimes it feels like the car slips from some bumps on the road. It is quite strange when it comes to a car that wieght 1845kilos. Read more Collapse

At first sight Nankang NS 2 205/50R17 appeared to me a bit weird because I thought that tyre in that size and that price cannot show to much. As it occured later after purchase I was totally wrong! These tyres are brilliant both on dry and wet road surface. They are worth buying! You won't regret. Read more Collapse

I had Goodyears 235/45R17. I drove 2 seasons on them (about 50k km) and after this period 2 of my tyres were totally damaged. Currently I'm using Nankangs NS2 (made in Taiwan) and they are much more quiet, they handle realy well. If the quality will not got worse I will definitely buy them again. Read more Collapse

For me Nankang NS 2 are perfect. Firstly the price is reasonable, secondly tires look realy nice and they are not so noisy as other users wirte. I drive about 70 thousand kilometers per year and I ride mostly on the highway so I usualy drive fast and everythink is A O.K. I realy recommend it! Read more Collapse

Its the only manufacturer that makes tires in size 185/35R17, so I had no choice and I had to buy Nankang S2:( When it's just a bit rainy or snowy the driving comfort is average and if you drive a lot you have to know that these tyres are good for only one season. The tread just disappears :( Read more Collapse

Quality in comparison to price is OK. I have a low power car so they are awesome to me. They never disapointed me. Either by driving trough puddles or in curves. So if you dont drive in an extreme way you can wear them for sure. I drove 190km/h on them and it went quietly, nice and calm. Read more Collapse

Hello everybody. I used to wear Dunlops for my audi and I can say that Nankangs NS2 dont differ from the more expensive one, I bought 4 of them in spring and i drove about 4000km. I drove even 270km/h and nothing bad happened. I realy recommend the! Tyres/price are just brilliant Read more Collapse

More quiet than Dunlop Sport 2000 or Continental which I had on my car. Tread realy good. The one and only problem is driving in rain. With a bit more aggressive style of driving they slip as on ice. But with earlier mentioned Dunlops it was the same. In general realy good price. Read more Collapse
