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

Opinion from outside the UK

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

Opinion from outside the UK

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

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..

Opinion from outside the UK

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

Product description

Nankang NS 2

The Nankang NS 2 is a summer tyre with a directional tread pattern, which offers optimal performance in different weather conditions. Its wide grooves quickly disperse water, minimising the risk of aquaplaning, meaning that the car maintains its grip on the road, even in heavy downpours.

The unique tread design and the use of an innovative rubber compound have helped reduce noise levels, making driving on Nankang NS 2 tyres a comfortable and quiet experience.

The tyre's reinforced shoulder area provides an excellent smooth performance on uneven surfaces, whilst also ensuring driving stability and good traction. The model is also resistant to mechanical damage and wears evenly, guaranteeing its full performance specifications for its entire lifetime.

Nankang was founded in Taiwan in 1959. In the 1970s the company opened a branch in Australia, where it remains extremely popular to this day. The brand later exported its tyres to the USA, South America and Europe and in 1991 Nankang received the CE marking, certifying that its products comply with European Union directives. Four years before that, Nankang received a Q1 certificate from the Ford Motor Company (the company has worked together with the Ford group for many years). Nankang also owns the brands Sonar Tire (car tyres) and Roadiac (motorcycle tyres).
