vs
Tires NANKANG or COMFORSER
I've been impressed with the Nankang NS-2R in 120tw and in 180tw. Would definitely recommend giving them a go if you burn through tires quickly. 265/35/18 120tw on the TSW worked very well and I ran them on the street between events. Strong sidewalls, even better than the RS3 at the limits, and very durable.
Pros: strong sidewalls, very durable
Cons: burn through tires quickly
I have Nankang Toursport 611's and they work brilliant in the dry and acceptable in the wet And w/ a 500 tread wear rating, they have like a 50,000 mile warranty.
Pros: brilliant in the dry
Cons: acceptable in the wet
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
ive ONLY been using nankang since i started operating VWs since 2003. +taken up to 120mph multiple times no problem +they stretch good; i used them on 9.5\" +at around $55/tire you cant go wrong for daily use
Pros: no problem at high speed, stretch good, inexpensive, good for daily use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I bought these a while ago basically to store my B5 on; they have seen the road for about 200kms back and forth to the paint shop. No scratches, bends, rash, nothing. The tires are Nankang 215/35s and have some camber wear but could easily be used for the remainder of this season and next season.
Pros: no scratches, bends, rash
Cons: some camber wear
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 200 km
Little bit too late, but i ma using the same tyre now. First impressions are really good, its quiet and comfort, acting well also. For that price i think you cant beat them with anything.
Pros: quiet and comfort, acting well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
I had NS-2's and loved them.
Pros: loved them
I've run both tires on 18x8.5. The falken 215/40's were smaller than the 205/40 AS-1's..I rubbed hard with the As-1's The AS-1's are a pretty true to size. I know what you are trying to do, and the AS-1's won't help. Edit: this is the best picture I have to show how true the tires are..as you can see it's not a great looking tire for the size.
Pros: true to size
Cons: rubbed hard, not great looking
I had some back in like 2002 or so, not bad, not great but definately not a high quality tire.. does the job if you just need something for basic use
Pros: does the job
Cons: not high quality
I had Nankangs once. The only negative reviews I read just pointed out the excessive road noise. They drove me absolutely ****ing insane the entire time I had them on my car.
Cons: excessive road noise
My nankangs stretched pretty well. However, They suck in the rain. Like, scary bad. But you can do crazy burn-outs, because they don't grip for sh!t. You get what you pay for, in this case unfortunately.
Pros: stretched pretty well
Cons: suck in the rain
