Nankang Tires
Anyone have experience with these tires or more specifically Nankang NS2 tires? They are cheap as hell and their ratings are pretty good.

I have ran them. They are exactly that. CHEAP. I only got about 10k before they needed replaced. If you are lowered, I would HIGHLY recommend Nitto NeoGens. They are designed for lowered imports. They have amazing grip and have thus far lasted about 20k and still have plenty of tread for at least another 20k. Pay the extra money, don't get dooped like I did.

i had them on my RD1 and the first set lasted around 4 years.... and i hated them every minute.. LOL i had them for so long because they where cheap and lasted a lifetime. they suck BAD!!!!! noisy, horrible in wet conditions and even worse in snow. i later went with sumitomo (cant remember the model) and the difference was night and day.
i know they are very popular on the stance crowd because the stretch pretty nice but everything else of these tires suck...
i would NEVER buy them EVER again.... unless they were the last set of tires on earth.. LOL
my advice is, research the size of tire you are looking at and read as many reviews on the ones you like the most. that way you get an idea of how good/bad the tire is.
