vs
Tires NANKANG or WEST LAKE
I have Nankang NS-25s on mine. Less than $100 each, and even with a Malone Stage 2 setup, it only spins the tires a little bit. Dry handling is surprisingly good as well. They put up with northern Illinois winters well enough, and are just fine in the rain. Not too much road noise either.
Pros: good dry handling, low noise
Westlake makes really cheap tires that are great for burners. They're really hard rubber too so they slip really easily. They're OK to daily but in the wet it's interesting.
Pros: cheap tires, slip easily
Cons: interesting in the wet
I drive about 160 KM every week, I use Westlake and its been 2 years already, still got enough tread for another 6 months, approx
Pros: enough tread after 2 years
You want cheap tires. Go Westlakes. Great budget brand.
I've run a few sets and no complaints.
Pros: great budget brand
Part number: SW608
Westlake SW608s. The best!
Pros: The best!
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
Pros: good tires for price
Mileage: 16093 km
i have them too. they run skinny and stretch well. they are a little noisy though.
Pros: stretch well, run skinny
Cons: a little noisy
I had both ns2 and 512 on my 17x9 both were 205/45. The nankangs were decent but didn't give me the stretch I wanted like the falkens
Pros: decent tires
Cons: less stretch than Falken
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
Cons: wore way to fast
I had General's in that size on my old GTI. Awesome tires, but they've gone way up in price since then. After that, I had a set of the Nankangs. Crap tires and the road noise drove me insane. Would not recommend.
Pros: awesome tires (General)
Cons: crap tires (Nankang), insane road noise
