Nankang NS2 Tyres

[faisal1203]

Anyone on here had any experience with these? Mixed reviews on the net so just wanted to get opinion of SCN members.

Looking to get these in 225/40/18 to go with the new RS6 alloys.

How do they compare to Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's?

I've used to use them when I had my Mondeo.
Good BUDGET tyres that's all. Can't really compare them to PZero. Completely different class and 2 times cheaper. I wouldn't stick them on powerful car tbh.

Thanks.

Have you had any experience with Falken FK42's?

 

[Rorza]

Have you looked at vredestein ultrac sessanta great reviews on tyre review.com or Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2

 

[faisal1203]

Yeah they're excellent tyres but unfortunately got a budget of about £300 for all four tyres

Falken ze912's, fantastic tyres.

Budget tyres belong on budget cars. Do yourself and your car a favour and stick to premium brands. Youll need to up your budget to £400 at least for 18" rims. I feel your pain, I paid over £350 for two tyres.

I wouldn't get nakangs, but there isn't anything wrong with Falken's

Got to fork out for, four new tyres aswell. Probz have to spend near enough £600 :-( dunno which to chose pirelli p zeros or egale f1 asemmetrics

Ive used them and they are ok and hard wearing the only prob with them is the side walls crack after abit but im talking 2-3 years on my moms car . I very much doubt any of us on hear will have a set of tyres for that long . Failing that my local tyre shop is supplying and fitting maxxis tyres for the same price as the nankangs i would defo choose them over nanka

I've always stuck with Pirrelis, never had a problem with them. Last time i bought some they were £130 each from Kwik-Fit, and that was a bargain at the time. As said before, you cant skimp on tyres, especially for a high performance car. It's peace of mind, and think of it as an investment. For the amount of time you'll have them, they would've paid for themselves.

I have them on my Cupra and well...........
They are excellent tyres for the money ,they have redone the compound and are nothing like the old reviews , I have had falkens , vereds ,Pirelli and they are every bit as good tbh.

You might just get some Kumho's for that, I'd have the Falken's over the Nakgwangs anyday.

For anyone who's a Michelin fan they have an offer on (£50 on 18") until the end of July at the moment to try to shift some tyre's, details on there website. .

You can also try CamSkill and Black Circles for good tyres. Black Circles were £30 cheaper PER TYRE than anywhere else.

I got 18" p zeros for £118 each.

Rather than start a new thread ill jump on the back of this one, (sorry)

I need Good alternatives to p zero rosso 17s. Im not desperate and i highly rate the tyre never let me down wet or dry. but i might need somthing that lasts longer and abit quieter would be nice (if that exists!) Price shouldnt matter if they last longer if that makes sense

 

[GrahamFR]

I've got Avon zz3's and im still here

 

[faisal1203]

Thanks for the replies.

Thinking of just going all out and forking out for the F1 Assymetric 2's within next week or so

Best place to buy pirellis or somthing simliar at a good price..?

 

[calvR]

I have experienced nankangs on a friends car a while bac and they were ok in the dry but treacherous in the wet, not much good for our current climate
I have the original bridgestone potenza re050a tires on my lcr and they are still going strong after 13k
They seem to offer a good balance of performance/ longevity/ price.
