Used on a highly modified Renault Clio with aggressive suspension geometry 2.5degree negative camber etc. Dry grip is very good and equal to my previous Goodyear eagle f1 gsd2's and gsd3's. Better in dry than uniroyal rainsport 2's. Wet grip is fine until you push them hard, the grip levels drop of quickly, but are very predictable.
People complaing about them firstly can't drive and/or feel the way their car drives and reacts.
Tyre wear is very very good. Supringsinly hard compound that still trips in the dry. Wearing at Under half the rate of the eagle f1's.
Personally for the price they are brilliant. I'm actually buying a further 4 for when my rears wear out and two spares.

I have had three sets of these tyres on my ctr (2004), They have outlasted the bridgestone re040's 3 times over! I used to get about 3-4k on the front end with the re040's and now Im pushing 10k plus with the ns2's!! The dry performance is as good but yes if you cain it in the wet then of course they do let go a lil bit earlier but saying that it is a progressive loss of grip so hey all the more fun! All in all these are a great budget tyre and I will definately buy them again.

Brilliant tyres, the just as good if not better than many of the branded tyres i've tried. You can push them really stupidly hard in the wet and the especially dry and they just take it. When they and if they do let go its very predicable and easy to control.. Will buy again for sure

I bought them just 2 months ago on my Mercedes CLK 270 CDI ( front 225 / 35 R 19 and rear 255 / 30 R 19) and I must say that the dry grip is fantastic and the wet grip isnt to bad either. So dont listen to all people that say these tyres are bad. You dont need drive as Schumacher and for a normal use they are just briliant. Well worth for the price. Iam very satisfied.

Only fitted a couple of used Nangkangs on my car temporarily on a spare set of rims whilst I was re-furbing my main ones, and was surprised by them. May not be the best tyre available, but certainly one of the best in their price bracket.

Have tried kuhmos yokis P6s bridestones dunlops...Nankang are just as good..sensible driving and the tyres are superb...act like an idiot and they still treat you well..dry and wet weather use are excellent...great wear rates..dont judge these tyres by price as they may have a budget price but they have great performance...you will not regret buying them...in australia we have the most extreme and harsh road conditions in the world and these tyres survive..they are also American auto rated at A rating for wear and an A rating for wet driving and a 480 wear rating...if you put a premium stamp on these tyres most of the the so called tyre kickers who give this tyre a bad rating would give them praise...

Have had these on two cars now and like them. For the price they hold the road well even in the wet. I can conpare these to the bridgestones i had before, they handle just as well and last longer even with my heavy foot.
Have purchased these again as i am very happy with them.
