For budget tyres these performed fairly well. Much better than other similar priced tyres. I found the dry grip to be good with reasonable feedback.
You do have to be careful in the wet though. They threatened to slip a few times when driven harder, especially on tight bends.
Comfort/noise is about average. They are a fairly hard compound and wear pretty well.
A decent tyre for the price but doesn't really compare to the top-end brands.

These provided decent levels of grip in the dry; for a budget tyre. Though in the wet they could be quite dangerous when trying to put down 220bhp, more so mid corner.
Despite covering 7,000 fast miles they had only worn by 2mm, so definitely long lasting.

HANDLING WITH ALMOST ANY TYRE ON A 300ZX IS EXCELLENT . JUST PUT SOME 18" WHEELS 235/40/18 ON FRONT & 265/35/18 ON THE REAR . TYRES ARE NANKANG NS2 SPORT ZR RATED . WHAT CAN I SAY , HANDLING WAS BRILLIANT , WET DRY DIDNT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE . THE CAR WENT EXACTLY WHERE I WANTED IT TO GO . DONT KNOW HOW LONG THEY WILL LAST AS THEY ARE JUST FITTED . OVERALL VERDICT , CANT GO WRONG FOR THE MONEY.

Excellent front Mr2 tyre, wouldn't dare have them on the back where all the action takes place. Last ages but grip not fantastic. Get what you pay for as they aren't that expensive and last a long time. It's just you might not last a long time yourself if you fit them to the rear!!!

Well these are very average, and I wouldn't use them again if you paid me! Performance was ok BUT the tread on BOTH rear tyres seperated from the tyre with average driving, I still had an average of 5.5mm left on them! My advice if your on a budget - skip these and look at the Falken 452's!

Pleasantly surprised with these NS2s. They came with a set of aftermarket alloys for free so were never going to be decent but they weren't horrible in the dry.
Not great in wet and I did a few track laps on them and they turned to jelly.
Looked like they were going to last forever! Luckily I sold the car :)
