Nankang NS 2 245/30 R19 89 Y XL, ZR

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
