Smile not bad tires at all

Hi, I've read something about those tires in "japanese performance" mag, and they where amazed by how grippy their are.
Personnally I use toyo proxes t1-s and they are trully amazing, better than my last bridgestone s-03 believe me.
Keep asking to other scooby owners but if jap perf says that they are good enough for high performance car it's good enough for a scooby ;-)

Smile tires

I don't know if the nankang look good but I can imagine, but I can tell you that the proxes t1-s are great good looking tires, and also cheap, but don't know the prices for your size.

hope this help

I run Nankang NS2's in 225/35/18 and have had 2 sets in the last 18 months - jusy put 2 new ones on today

I'm pleasantly surprised by them - only when pushed hard in the dry do they over heat, they cope with standing water well, only a little bit twitchy in "damp" times and were OK-ish in the snow

I rate them

I use Nankang NS-1's, have found them better than some so called performance tyre's. On my second set, very happy with them (and great prices).

Believe they are made by Yokohama (could be wrong)

I have the Nankand NS2s as they were on the 18'' wheels I bought - I have been surprised as to how good they are considering the cost... Not as much wet grip probably as the Eagle F1s I had before [ they dont make tyres in the size I run now anyway - 215/35/18] - but not much in it, especially in the dry.

yes the ns2 is a very good tyre not as soft as a poxy or bridge stone so not quite as grippy but will last longer i had the on my saab v6 very grippy wet and dry not just got a new set of 18"s with them on and they feel so good, and the price of them is great. as for the ns1 dont even think about it one of the worst tyres on the market. both the tyres are my by yokahama. so does that tell you something about them?
