Tell me about..

From any owners pov?

Nankang NS2 tyres, had these recently put on my Corsa, as 205/40/17 size, all I can say is what a load of utter crap.

Too slippery and slidy, screech when I corner quickly even at 5-10mph.

I have no faith in these tyres

I'm dreadiing winter

I really loved my Yokohama Parada II's

Why did you knowingly fit budget ditchfinders, then complain about your "faith" in them afterwards :confused:

Surely that's an oxymoron?

They came as a wheel and tyre package.

Never again having Taiwanese crap, I was told they'd be decent.

OK then, sharply.

By the person selling them perchance?

This is what happens when you buy nasty cheap wheels

Did you really expect the person selling it to tell you they were rubbish? :confused:

I had them on my old BM 525i
They were "fun" which is why i liked them! I replaced them with Falken FK452 (i think) which were infinatly better.
I was running toyo TS1 on my prelude which were better again, then i put Goodyear Eagle F1's on the rear of the prelude, and they appear to be on a par with the toyos

So, nankangs - worst tyre i ever owned. I think i probably was singing their praises before i experienced better quality tyres, and now i see the error of my ways!

Thought it was an Astra hatch. Not very original choice of wheels anyway.

Cheap tyres generally are crap its a case of get what you pay for which i would have thought is pretty obvious.

Large fail

Hxc · 11 Jun 2008 at 18:37

Is that your car?

Those wheels are vile, my friend, and far too large.

At least you don't have limited edition wing mirrors

Clarkey · 11 Jun 2008 at 18:41

Much better the the last ones though.

Jonners · 11 Jun 2008 at 18:42

Fair enough you may all bash me for what I have, but in all honesty I couldn't give a ****. What if I don't like something anyone else has done for example?

I agree it may not be to anyone/everyones taste, but nm lets move on
