NANKANG NS-2R
 

NANKANG NS-2R I said I was not going to start a thread about these tyres but thought that I must:D.After forking out just under a Grand for my AD08R rubber for my car just to add they are Superb:thumb:,A Good friend of mine has just popped around and I have driven his car with the Nankang tyres on and they are excellent,where I live has quite a few roundabouts and his Impreza (500+bhp) made the 360deg turn around them look easy with no tyre squeal just pure grip.I am glad for him as they came in at half the price that I paid for my YOKO'S,and had I driven his car before I would of definitely purchased them,He has done a couple of track days already and he said that they performed brilliantly,and one of the sessions the track was wet.So it's just a heads up for anyone in the market for tyres and contemplating getting a road track tyre the Nankang tyres are up to the job.SJ.

Wht sort of prices we looking at

215/45/17 or 225/45/17?

Camskill seem to be the cheapest through various sizes and they will beat any genuine internet price,so best to shop around and if you find a better price then there listed price,email them and they will beat it according to my mate,He told me that he paid £100 a corner for 225 /40 /18.SJ.

I think there around £90 odd don't quote me on that as it's just a guesstimate,best to go on there site or shop around the net:thumb:they are superb tyre's though I'm still in shock eek:really at just how good they are.SJ.

Yep good tyres are these, on par with 888 and ad08s, excellent wet grip too at a fraction of cost.
There are 2 compounds, soft and medium.
Openeo seem to have best price on them last time I checked.

Heard good reviews about this company on MLR!! think its free delivery too!!!:thumb:

So if you have 18 inch wheels you could get 4 brand new trackday tyres as good as R888, AD08's for £360 from that company I posted prices for!!!:eek:

Thats pretty cheap. How would these be in the wet though? Also wouldn't the 225 be too big for a 17x7" wheel?

What car are they going on?my wife is going to be running 225/45/17 on her impreza (7x17 inch wheels).SJ.

P1

If these are good as the r888 and ad08s then I got a feeling the prices of the nankangs will go up or the other's will have to come down drastically :)

Let's just hope it's the later;).SJ.

Not for a newagae, but classic would benefit from 215

Hmm don't think these are available in 215?

205?

;) Heard good things, on a par with the RSR's on a 140 compound :)

Apparently slightly better than rsr.

The 205s will make it look too skinny :( lol. Il have a look into it. But I do have adjustable coilovers so I could higher it abit to stop it from rubbing the arches

I have these fitted to my uk300 newage scooby 215/35/18 I'm not so sure about them

Anyone know anything about these?

Kind of a slim rubber for 18" inch wheels maybe try a 225/40/18,to be honest I have never liked classics on 18's,17 inch wheels are the optimum wheel size for handling on classics to me,for 17"inch wheels I would recommend 215/45/17 or even 225/45/17 if they can fit without rubbing,all depends how low your car is or just get your arch's rolled for even more options.SJ.

Classics(17) Newage(18).SJ.

just fitted these on my classic Ra... only done three events but they have performed well.

180 or 120 compound ? :)

120 compound. ... its a sprint car... .

I have the NS-2R 120TW 225-45-17 on my Legacy, they are awesome both in dry and wet! Better wet grip than my old Goodyear Eagle F1.

I got the NS-2R's on my Hawk for Track use. Ended up using them for the road too after using them during the wet on a track day. Great tyre with loads of grip the only difference i noticed is people on 888's were able to stay out for more laps as i think the 888's could handle the heat better but at less than half the price i was happy enough.

Sorry if this seems thick

But what's the difference between the 2 I'm guessing it's softness / stiffness?

What would be better suited to road use, but they do get driven ;)
