Nankang NS2 are these any good?

[jh_16v]

I've just changed to Nankang NS2s. They dont seem to bad so far. Only had them 2 weeks tho.

nankangs aren't too bad to be fair... not too clever in the wet when pushed though... most people have their own preference, but i like Parada spec II's, give all around performance and are cheap in 195/50/15's too,

usual suspects,

Toyo proxes - not a fan of but lots of people like them,
R888's - take out a mortgage to buy them haha

more budget brands:
Kumho,
Falcon.. etc...

just shop around and see what prices are, i tend to get the best all around tyre for the money which for me is parada spec II's.

the goodrich profiler 2 on mytres are a good price (£3 might get them

I posted the following on another forum, my opinion on tyre choice...


...On the clios i have tried the following:
- Avon Zv3 7mm Tread (Mk1 valver)
- Yokohama A539 5mm (Williams and 172)
- Toyo Proxes 2mm (Mk1 valver)
- Bridgestone RE720's 4mm (Williams)
- Mich PE2's Brand New - 6mm (172 and Williams)

- Goodyear NCT's 4mm (BMW E30)
- Good year Eagle F1's Brand new (BMW E30)

The Goodyear Eagles were great on my E30 Although they did wear fast!!!
NCT's were a little too hard lost grip in wet.

On the Clio's the PE2's are the Best BY FAR - Wet and Dry..
Yoko A539 - very good, but loose heat and the performnace dropped drastically
Toyo's good - only had them on for 2 weeks...werent the best in the wet (although they were running low on tread)
Bridgestones are very good, but not as good as the PE2's

All I can tell you is what I have tested - and I would have no hesitation i using PE2's again.
I was so adament they werent worth the extra £5-£10 compared to other tyres (and almost bought some Parada Spec 2's due to their clear financial benefit, but wen I used the PE2's I realised what all the fuss is about.

Personally, for road tyres I would definitely use PE2's on the clio's.

PS: I also did an Air Field day in the PE2's, granted the track was wet on half of my runs, but no signs of graining at all.
