Nankang NS-2? Anybody have experience with these tires?



Hey all I have to buy new tires for my wheels this summer (245-40-18) and I right now my first choice is Nankang NS2. Before I purchase I just want to know if anyone in here has experience with these tires and if you can leave me your impressions.

Thanks in advance

I have them in a 245/35/19. They were sticky at first, but they wore down quickly. They have about 15k miles on them and they are at maybe 10% left. I rotated every 5k miles front to back. They also have a very stiff sidewall. I had Toyo T1-S's before these and I felt a huge difference in the ride. My advice, pay a little more and get a better tire.

These are what I'm going to try next. Seems to get good reviews, and they're just a little more then the Nankangs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/245-4...mZ250274153169

thanks for the feedback! Im disappointed to hear that the treadwear is not that great..I have about 56km / 33k mi on my general exclaim UHPs and they are at about 10% right now...so 15k mi on the nankangs to get to 10% is just depressing

I have Nankangs on my stock wheels and they do wear crazy fast. But they are a good tire if you go the paper to buy 2 sets a year.
