Have 09 350z roadstr. Nankang h tire?
I have a 2009 350z roaster. I need four new tires. I am about to pull the trigger on Nankang NS-II tires. They are only h rated.
The sizes are 225/45r/18 and 245/45r/18.
Curious to thoughts on this tire. I am not looking at paying a lot for the tires. I just drive back and force to work. No extreme driving at all.
Thanks!

just a heads up, you will have tremendous amounts of road noise when you get up in the 60 to 70mph range after about 2000 miles. I did anyways. Had the tires balanced several times thinking it would take care of it, it only got worse. Maybe it wont happen to you but im just giving a heads up

yea Nankangs are one of the loudest tires out there, I ran a few sets.
But it was a welcome trade off as these tires are fckin rugged, 4200km road trip over 4 days on low profile 35 series with 20' wheels tires held up awesome through all the bumps and potholes, no bubbling no issues whatsoever.
I swapped over to another Korean tire Nexen, made in the same factory as Nankang with very similar tread pattern but not nearly as noisy as the Kangs.... I would recommend Nexen N3000, same price range as well
