hi all i was running parada spec 2's but have just got some new wheels rapped in nankang's had them on my golf before for shows 165/45/16 big strech on them and had them on my 18's for the car and they was good, was told by a corsa nut that he had done his best 1/4 mile times on them after buying rims with them on but i didnt believe him till now there grate loads more grip and so good in the wet. any one else on them ?

 

i got them on my other set of rims they ar a pretty good tyre for a budget to be fair

 

i think they got more grip than yokohama parada spec 2 that i had before well impressed with them

 

ye they are i got a set of toyo t1rs on my new alloys which are double the price and dont like them at all

 

I guess brands can improve... I used to call them "ditch-seekers" :-)

 

Thought they had stopped making them ?? had four off them fitted to the 18"s on my blobeye, one off them got a screw in the sidewall tried everywhere to get a replacment and kept getting told you cant get them now ?? ended up having to buy two new different brand front tyres instead.

the rears on my seem okay but have read differently when I searched for info on them ie. seem to not be the most highly regarded off tyres !!!

 

Got them on mine at the moment and theyre hedge finders.

I'll be changing to Falken Ziex's as soon as my budget allows thats for sure. Very little difference in price, massive difference on the road.

 

you got NS-2 ? and have toy tried parada's ment to be good i fund them **** was always locking up on them

 

I got fallen fk452's on my 18's. Look good, and are pretty grippy. Had p-zero rossos before, and found the falkens are more grippy on the front, so less understeer, but a bit slippier on the back, so more chance of a bit of drifting... :-)

 

i used to have them on my escort a few years ago, £45 budget 205-40-17's they lost grip if they heard rain was coming on the weather report!

 

I now only buy Nankang normally the NS-2's Ive found them to be alot better than the branded tyre and to top it theyre a fraction of the price

 

always liked them as they stretch well and coming from vdub that's important but 1st time i've had them on and not stretched and loving them

 

yep. got nankangs on mine. not had a problem with them to be honest.

 

I've had them once and they were like porcelain. My personal opinion is that they are awful. Well worth paying the extra for…anything really.

 

they come on my new wheels lol didnt pick them but seam good so far to me

 

Nankangs


Get some Linglong's on the back!

 

What Nankang sliders not on a scoob!
Have Nankang snow tyres for my daily

 

I have Toyo T1Rs and i think they have very good grib i like them

 

I find it amazing that people will put such shyte tyres on their cars.

 

like i said come with the wheels but they grip

 

I put some used Nankangs down the side of a boat, but they would'nt grip the mooring !

 

They come with the wheels because they're cheap shyte

 

well Greg from the corsa owner's club was running parada spec 2's and then whent out on ns2's and gaind 0.255 on his best time even in that car so they got to be good and they aint that cheap cost me £100 a corner for 165/45/16's that i had for my golf p.s i hate corsa's but live next door to a bunch of corsa nuts

 

tbh for a budget tyre they are pretty good, i had some on a previous set of wheels and everyone called them ditch finders, hedge hunters ect but they were not at all,, well worth the money if you cant budget for a better brand,.

 

They must be a weird size then, because when I bought a pair they were £120 for 2 x 225/45/17. A couple of years back granted. I wish I'd spent a few more quid on falkens, avon etc.

 

Never again, NS2 Ultra Sports, not nice, might as well have been made of chocolate, I have a set of 15 inch classic wheels with them on you can have cheap

 

this should warn you off putting them on a scoob

From spending 6months working for a tyre distributor and talking to the garages on a daily basis.. how can I put it.. don't even bother!

Pirelli P-Zeros/Bridgestone Potenzas if you can afford it, beyond that look at a Firestone.

Because of the hardness of the ride, any budget tyre will have a wall so thin, they'll deflate quicker than you can hit 60. The numpty who I bought my scooby off, but Federal's on it... They lasted about 3weeks (350miles) with me, You could feel the tyre wall move as you go around the corner.

 

Well there you go then.

 

nankang ditch finders are terrible, had toyo proxes t1r before, now running continental contisport 2 225/35/18 on my classic, so far no problems.
