Someone recommended these tires for my '05 350z and I've never heard of
them. What's the story from the experts? And what's w/ this cupping?
What causes it and do they have to be replaced right away once it happens? Thanks, Lisa

 

you get what you pay for

 

You probably haven't heard of them cuz they are pieces of shat!... Don't waste your money on them and if the person who recommended them to you is a friend.... CHANGE YOUR NUMBER ASAP!

 

I had nangkang NS-2's on one of my dsm's before i went big turbo(FP Red) on it. when I had a 18g (328whp street tune) they couldnt grab. waste of money, check frsport for a set of hankook rs's if your lookin for a lowbudget qaulity tire

 

It wasn't me.

 

I just put them on last week there not bad for what they are. Guys are comparing them to tires that arent even in the same league. If you want a cheap decent tire to drive around that last long by all means there not bad def worth it. If your looking for a performance tire then no. I got tired of spending top dollar on tires every year. Check out cooper zeons also there not bad

 

Lisa - I'd buy some OEM take-off Bridgestone or Michelin tires. I sent you a PM with some options if you're interested.

 

I agree, cause I'll be the first to say once my new rims get here I'm not spending like $800-1000 on tires, for what....I could see if I"m doing aggressive driving, track days, street racing, etc. but when you're pretty much just driving around town cruising on 3K-4K rims and what not then why bother spending like 300-400 dollars a tire? Now when I had my RSX (450whp ) then yes I was spending top dollar on tires cause I was just driving it like a mad man, street racing, corners, etc. But like he said if you just want a tire that's gonna be used for daily driving then why not but if that's not your intentions then you better be ready to spend some cash.

 

It's a good tire if you're short on $$
Not sure if they wear faster tho..?
I would get them if I had to

 

Have you looked into Vredestein tires? I'd def pick up a set if they come in the size you're looking for. Great reviews and they're very reasonably priced.

 

nankang tires are the worst ive ever owned

if your looking for cheap tires buy federals, doesnt cost much more than nankang's and they 3 times better IMO

 

+1 I've used the Cooper Zeon Sport tires and I liked them. Low-cost, decent treadlife, good tire for someone on a budget, that's not really doing much but commuting to work and back. Looking into a set of Vredestein tires now.
