Nankang NS2 look pretty interesting, They arent too noisy, but the problem arises once the car enters a puddle which cause a cushion effect.They probably lack in discharging water ! Sometimes it feels like the car slips from some bumps on the road. It is quite strange when it comes to a car that wieght 1845kilos.

I bought one set o Nankangs 205/55R16 in 2011 and I was so impressed that I bought the same set for my wife but it wasn't that great. Tyres behave average in wet condition. This year I bought 225/45R18 and during the rain they are a total disaster. They are unpredictable I'm affraid of driving them in wet condition because my car just starts to dance.

Nankang NS2 is average on dry conditions. If you have a powerfull car you will not feel comfortable. They are good for driving in the city. On wet weather it's just a drama. Its hard to move without slipping. I dont recommend them for sport driving in powerfull cars.

My review connects the 215/50R17 size - maybe others are better. In comparison to GoodYear Eagle NCT Nankangs NS2 give a sufficient handling. The problem is the noise which is generated by Nankangs. They howl so badly especialy while driving 80-100km/h. They noise is also noticeable while driving 50km/h. What is more - they are not round. It was noticeable when I went to fitting station to balance them. They had 1-2 mm bulges. I dont recommend them.

Hi. I bought my car and it already weared Nankangs NS2 with 6-7mm tread. They are average on dry road. Everything seems to be ok but when it comes to more agressive style of driving they are poor. I have 220BHP Audi. These tyres are very poor on wet surface I have to say that they slip and dont do well in puddles. It makes a lot of noise. I bought new NoiansWRG2 and they are much more quiet than Nankangs. Bigest advantage is the low attricction. But it seems that the manufacturer paid more attention to attriction than safety.

I bought my car and it already weared Nankangs NS2. While driving 110/130km/h my steering wheel wobbled so I went to the nearest fitting station to balance them. There was a problem with balancing them but finnaly the guy there managed to do it. Besides they are realy dangerous on wet road. They don't do well while braking. I pray for winter to come and I will finnaly change them.

On dry conditions Nankangs NS2 are quite good tyres. They dont rub off as fast as Barum did. I drive 2 seasons on them and I can make 2 more for sure. If the rain falls youd better not drive. Wheels are blocking very fast. While moving you have to watch out because the grip breaks fast. You better get used to Aquaplaning. I dont advise you to drive trough puddles. To be a bit polite I have to say that the tread looks nice :)) I wont buy them again because driving in the rain makes me feel like driving on ice.

I craved for Nankang NS2 but I strognly discourage it when you want to buy 205/55/R16. I got problems with balancing and i thought that it is caused by rims but when it occured later it Was tyres fault. In addition they were realy noisy. Now I'am waiting Oponeo to consider my complaint. I dont recommend them. You better save for tires from other manufacturer.
