Nankang tyres? Hmmm

Post by Bazzad88 »

Hi, has anyone used nankang ns2 or ns20 tyres? They're cheap and I wanted a 185 tyre really, I've heard horror stories about them tho. Thanks

Wouldn’t touch them for toffee

Why do you want a 185 out of interest? What alloys are you using

Yeah I don't think I will, to many bad reviews, I have schmidt modern lines 8j, I've got 195 toyos at the mo which I quite like but they still catch the rear arches and where the front bumper joins the wing, might need a tiny bit of camber

Ah ok, I think I'm gonna have to stick with 195 45 15 so I'll probably get more toyos or some Yokohamas
