I take it that you wouldn't advise to go with them?

Just curious, not sure what you have on now but you may be able to flip them side to side to run on good sides

Yes I've thought about that but the rear tires are so worn that you can see wires now so I've been told it's not worth flipping them :(

If you are considering Nankang, there is nothing wrong with Hankook. Not to mention that they revised the compound recently and they have improved grip these days. If you are going to the track, then you will be disappointed. If you are DDing, they are fine.

Proper suspension geometry is key, but I guess bandaids work for some people too.....

So you'd say I should go with Hankooks instead of Nankang? I don't track my car, just enjoy driving her and gunning it every now and then.

As far as suspension goes, what would you recommend I do? I have Stance 16 way adjustable all around coilovers and I'm running 20mm H&R spacers.

Thanks.

A little late then.

I may give these nankangs a try eventually. But if they're crap, you lose that little money you spend on them.

I run the Hankooks and I put on a lot of miles every year, I flip them side to side mid summer, and i'm good.

At my driving level they are sticky enough, I'll get stickier tires next time probably. They did awesome in the rain last time on the track too. A buddy of mine has Sumitomos and he was all over the place. S-04's are a great bang for your buck at around $900.

Toe is your wear enemy ... camber not so much.
S-04's are great tires. If you arent tracking they will do you fine.
