Tell me how you really feel
Hi everyone!
I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on some entry level tires I'm looking into. I have a 2010 Nismo which I got Stance coilovers on and dropped about 2.5 inches. My camber wear is pretty bad on the current tires (they're shot) so I was looking into getting something not too expensive since it seems like with my set up, I'm going to be eating up tires. What do you guys think about Nankang NS-2 ultra performance tires? I've read mixed reviews about them but I don't really track my car or auto cross it. I do enjoy going cruising with my friends and driving it spirtedly and taking the ramp fast and tight at times. I'd love to hear some feedback or recommendations from all the experts out there or people that face my situation and what route they chose. Thanks to all in advance! |
Wouldn't buy tires that cheap.
Buy Hankook V12s. AND buy camber arms and toe bolts |
They seem to be quite popular with the hellaflush/vip crowds, probably because its easy on the wallet when you had to go thru tires a few times a year.

You'd recommend those because of speed rating or just overall quality? |

I do have a beater that I drive throughout winter, so I don't daily my Z. I just don't want to invest another $800-$900 on tires again and have to buy them every year because of camber wear. |

Agree on the camber arms and toe bolts. |

Yes, I've looked into the s-04 and I've read a lot of good reviews on them. No one ever advices me to get any camber arms or toe bolts since I'm not completely slammed but I'm gonna start looking into those. Any particular brands? |
SPC should do fine for street driven, non-track...
SPL if you need performance |

Toe is your wear enemy ... camber not so much. |
I HAVE THEM TIRES BRO. NO PROBLEM PEOPLE HATE THEM BUT THEY WORK AND PERFORM. Check my album for tread pattern. I have driven them hard with no issues. In the rain 80mph car feels solid, normal weather 120mph and have done like 70mph on some junction merging with no problems the tires grip. I did some research before I obtained the Nankangs and the company have won some awards…So I personally recommend them. Some call it cheap I call it smart shopping.

That's what I run also. No problems with the Nankangs. Lasted 24k on the rear, factory bridgstones lasted 12k. Quieter than bridgestones, no noticeable difference in performance in wet or dry. I will definitely buy them again. They were actually recommended to me from my local tire shop, and I trust these guys. I've been using them for 20 or so years.
|
Same here I will and would buy them again.
|
Not to mention I'm getting them for $165 apiece for rears.

I've checked their speed ratings and they seem legit and I don't think the wear will be an issue if they can last me 12-15k because of the price. My rears are completely done and I bought Michelin ps2 which were $300+ per tire for my rear so I need something that's gonna be good grip and best bang for the buck |
