Opinion from outside the UK
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

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.

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 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 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

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

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

I recommend these tyres. I used to wear Dunlops before I bought Nankangs NS2 and for me Nankangs are much more better. I couldnt afford buying expensive tyres thats why I was forced to buy Nankangs but they didnt disappoint me at all. In my BMW 330d these tyres are realy good. Read more Collapse

Nankang NS2 is average on dry conditions. If you have a powerfull car you will not feel comfortable. They are good for driving in the city. On wet weather it's just a drama. Its hard to move without slipping. I dont recommend them for sport driving in powerfull cars. Read more Collapse

I bought Nankangs NS2 195/55R15 in 2008. I thought that these stories about chinese tyres are a total lie. Bulge on 1/4 of the tyre lenght without any mechanical failure. My fitting station said: cracked canvas! I don't recommend them at all. Read more Collapse

Cheaper and more quiet in comparison to Goodyear Exelent. No feathering as Goodyears do. I did 50 000 km on them. Now I decided to buy Nankangs NS2. I recommend them because they are cheap and when they rub off you will not cry so much. Read more Collapse

Very good tires. A bit too soft but OK. Price / Quality ratio very beneficial. I drove about 20.000km on Nankangs NS2 in one season and I will put them for next season. In addition I drive a lot in the city so for me they are perfect. Read more Collapse

Very good in dry codnition but you have to watch out on wet road. Besides, they rub off quickly. They are silent in comparison to Dunlop 2000E. Considering price of Nankangs NS and my car value these tires are the best solution for me Read more Collapse

Good all round performer, budget price but not budget qualities, would purchase again, tyre suppliers seem to be sold out when last needed a replacement due to lo-life slashing the side wall, bought a gt radial instead, just as good. Read more Collapse

Nankang NS2 were ok few days after purchase. After 6000km tyres were howling so bad that i couldnt drive on them. The start from 50km/h and the noise is as huge as on a plane. I dont recommend them. I just made an official complaint. Read more Collapse

Very good tyres in dry conditions. Very good grip. Very quiet. The only disadvantage is that you have to hold the steering wheel quite hard while driving trough puddles. I cannot give any more details beacuse I'm not an expert. Read more Collapse

Generaly speaking Nankangs NS2 are worth their price. 205/55R16 suprised me realy well. They grip awesome on dry waether. On wet it is not so easy to turn ESP or ABS on. Tyre for a reasonable price and honestly worth buying. Read more Collapse

I was affraid a bit because I didnt know Nankangs Ns2 before. I was wrong. Its a very good tyre. I used to wear Bridgestones for 100GBP each and i couldnt drive up the wet hill. I will buy winter tires also from Nankang. Read more Collapse

I bought Firs set of Nankang S2 about 4 seasons ago and the tires were doing perfectly good during this time. Handling and braking depends also on car's components but on these tires driving is safe and comfortable. Read more Collapse

Avreage tyres. On dry road surface they wont get hot enough which can cause frequent grip brakes. On wet surface its average as well. On my a4 I got aquaplaning and fortunately thanks to ESP and ABS I survived. Read more Collapse

Lack of tread on both sides of the tyre. Nankangs NS2 rubb off quickly and it seems they are just "bald" after sometime. The only advantage is that they are strong (wheels bended but tyres didnt) Read more Collapse
