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.

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.

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.

I would recommend, would definitely recommend. For new tires paid as much as the branded drugs. Comparing them to the tire example. Dunlop N9000 fall on average, but take into account the value for money is great. On a dry surface stick well to wet but not very well, are quiet and very soft. Additionally, tires great stretch for over dimensional wheels. Overall, if I had more time to buy budget tires, I would buy it without thinking.

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.

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.
