Ive used them on previous cars, and for a budget tyre they are pretty good

I had some Nankang ones and they were pure *****, can't remember which ones though (they came with the car)


EDIT: Just looked and mine were NS-1 so maybe these NS-2's are a lot better? I see they are very cheap though!

Think im gonna get a set at the end of july (spare money then) cant really complain at that price...

Hope it will end up round the £220 mark including fitting. smile.gif

i have nankangs on the back of my lex at the minute and can't wait to get rid of them for toyos in a few days time. i think the nankangs should be renamed ditchfinders as they are useless in the wet and seem to be made out of a wood compound rather than a rubber one. That said they will probably outlast the car as long as you drive slowly and avoid sharp bends biggrin.gif

CRAP!!! thats not what i wanted to hear!! mad.gif

your probably right though....if they're that cheap, it must be for a reason. Think its probably worth throwing another £25 a tyre ontop of what im gonna spend.
That should get me a decent set of toyos. biggrin.gif

thanks for the advice smile.gif

I'd only ever put Nangkangs on again if I was selling the car and threw in a set of tyres as a sweetener laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Might look ok but in reality you ALWAYS get what you pay for crying.gif crying.gif

Spend the extra few quid per corner, it will save you in the long run believe me...........

It would be worth spending more money on your tyres for a top set other than a censored.gif cheap set.

In the end they could save your Lex or your life ohmy.gif

nankangs are a very poor quality tyres and are awful in the wet, if you shop around you can get 4 dunlops fitted for just over £300.

I had those on my Cavalier and they were censored.gif

I would never put them on my lex unless they were free, actually censored.gif paid me to have them on, I was selling the car, and I was desperate!

Get some Toyos, Eagle F1 etc etc its worth the lil 20 - 30 quid xtra
