I believe the old NS2's still will put you quite happily in a ditch, but a few companies such as Nankang, Khumo and Federal have found a spot in the market for good value track day tyres.
Budgie and Maggy both use the Nankangs and rate them well, clearly not the same as Yokohamas but for 40% of the cost they're not 40% of the performance. I've also heard good reports on the Federal RSR595 track day tyres but Maggy doesn't sell them so my next set of boots will be the Nankangs

I've had a set of the 120 compound NS2R tyres for a month or so now, I'm very impressed with them although I'm yet to give them a proper workout so far they grip very well, steering feedback has improved, the ride isn't bouncy like the continental sport contacts they have replaced... Road noise on rough surfaces has increased slightly; I get a noise similar to a worn out wheel bearing on rough surfaces but it is not as intrusive.
I've got a set of F1 Assymetric 2s on the daily driver; the sidewalls on the nankangs seem much stiffer...

Keep checking the inner walls on these Nankangs,when they have done a few 000 miles they seem to start cracking,ive had a few customers in with these tyres & they look alright from the outside but on further inspection the inner wall have started to crack.
After all nankangs are only a budget tyre not a mid range like some tyre companys say.

I will give a constant update on the original thread I have asked my mate to give me updates every once and awhile to keep me informed with how the tyres are holding up,and his car Is a perfect test subject as he is running a 2.1 fully forged engine being feed by a GT30 billet turbo with 500+ bhp to boot.SJ.

Great tyres, I used them all last year on my track car and they were superb. Easy to get up to temps but can go off a bit quicker than 888's. The tread outlasts the toyo's by miles though. They are much better than 888's in the wet also.
I now have 2 sets and will be testing them with more power this year.

Nice one BudgieI just thought that I would start the original thread up as when I try something new that really surprises me I like to past that information on to my fellow members who may be abit apprehensive about trying the unknown,and just to give them some reassurance that a purchase of these tyres would be money well spent and that there quality is far from ditchfinders.SJ.
