I have ran the NS-1s on my Evo and Talon, and NS-IIs on the GSX and Supra.
Ran away from hurricane in 04 down Myrtle Beach and had NP with them in
the Eclipse. Not noisy, great traction in rain and dry. Excellent wear. Well sorta,
that DAMN Supra goes through some tires !!!! But i got 25k out of the ones on
the Eclipse. Putting some on the Evo 2mrw and heading down FL.
I have NEVER had a problem with them splitting, bubbling or other defects. I have
had 4 sets since 2000. First got them form Mr.Tire will use them until I see a better
tire for a better price.
I've had Kumho 512s, they SUCK for a DD. S-03's are good but exspensive, as are
KDW's. Rolling General UHP on the TT Supra rear 275s and Nankang NSII's in front now.

I have them on my front wheels (255 30 20). Their not bad at all. I wouldn't recommend using them in the rear , the dont stick as well as the pilot sports I had before. I just drive my z mainly to work and back 50 miles a day so spending 4-600 dollars on front tires when I can spend 250 for 2 works for me. They work well in the rain and offer decent tread life if you keep your alignment in check. They do seem to be more prone to tire feathering than other tires IMO!

Nankang's on 350Z Roadster
I just bought an '06 Roadster that has 20" D'vinci rims w/Nankang tires. I too had never heard of them and did some surfing to find out more. From my brief experience, they run great on dry pavement. Being that it's my 2ndary play car I haven't driven it in the rain yet. From a visual, nice low profile tire. I don't know how many miles are on them but so far no road noise with the top down. Only the purr of the twin exhaust!
