Nankang NS2's

[stew72]

Any good for a 318 cab?

I know their reputation isn't great, but its a car that covers around 3000 mainly dry miles per year.

Other options I've seen are toyo T1-R and Falken ZE914, any opinions?

I'm no fan of Nankangs but for the mileage you are doing they make sense especially at £40.00 a corner


The Toyos & Falkens are £65/£67 but Uniroyal Rainsport 3's are available for £63 and the Uniroyal is a bloody good tyre ! If you are in the mood to spend more money then the Uniroyal is the one to go for

I use the nankang on my 540 touring, big heavy car with 255 rears and 235 fronts, ive not had issues with grip at all, the rears lasted about 17,000 miles and the fronts about 22,000


After being on the car just over a year the fronts were starting to show signs of perishing, small cracks appearing etc, so I wouldnt fit them if your expecting them to last a long time, couple of years max really.

I had heard good things about the kumho ecstas but I put two on our scenic and apart from being a little quieter they ere no better than budgets costing £12 less per corner. Black circles have the Falkens at £57.

ive used nankang and kumho for years and never had a problem with them.
