As I visited this forum before I took a chance and bought Nankang - quick feedback after 2000 km.
It understeers like mad and when I tried some "advanced" manouvers the rear tires felt like driving on 155/80/17.
I have increased preasure in my tires (3 kg cold tires) but it does not help.
After talking to experts I now understand my choice of "V"-tires (270km/h) was stupid. They are much "softer" than W or Y. The speed-limit is merely a product of how well built the tyre is, and affects the performance at all speeds.
Not knowing how well the W or Y edition would have performed I still have doubts. Value for the money - no way!

These came on my new alloys and at first they didnt grip at all but this is usuall down to the moulding deposits left, after 2000 miles the tyres were stillthe same, throw the car into a roundabout at 30mph and understeer. No matter what i tried to do they would understeer massivly, even going round roundabouts at 15 or 10 it felt like the car would roll onto the sidewall and be on a think layer of ice. i DONT recommend these tyres at all.
