hows nankang tires?

whats up all, im getting new wheels and tires in a couple monthes(not eonugh money) im getting top of the line racing wheels(enkie or wedssport) and top of the line tires(falken or nitto)

but right now my stock tires are really bad, my rears you can see spots of the steel belt, and my fronts are almost as bad.(i was going to get the wheels and tires sooner, so i did A LOT of burnouts/donuts at a car show, but i ran into $$$$ trouble and had to put off buying them)

so untill i get the new tires and wheels, i bought 4 NANKANG NS-2s
on wheelfire.com to just hold me untill i get my new wheels and tires. they were 388 for the four with no tax and free shipping.



i was just wondering if anyone had these, or knew anything about these cheap *** tires. how are they?

i dont want to be going 90mph, and have one shred on me



thanks for info in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are not that great. Look to use something better if you can. If you just need to roll around on something for the time being any tire will do. Just dont plan on doing any hard driving or any track days.

Figure out the speed rating of those ns-2 you ordered & then this should give you a general idea Click me

They are probably either HR or ZR from what I looked @

like others have said, it's gotta be better than driving on the belts.

All tires have a warranty, so you should be covered for at least a couple months if nothing. You have no idea how many law suits are filed against tire companies daily because of blow-outs causing accidents and damage to cars. No company can put out a **** tire and get away with it.

For just daily driving, I won't worry about it. It's too late now, but Kumho SPT cost about the same and quite a few people like them here.

And next time, I suggest doing your burnout AFTER you got your new tires.
