Well I will tell you this I recommend them for summer tires, and for the price. I would say get them especially since your have both summer tires and winter tires. Why spend crazy money for tires you are going to use for a few months.

I was wondering the same thing. My new 07 came with a new pair on the rear. Curious to see how they do...

Well i am running on korean made Nexens..i believe they cost about the same as Nankangs~ might be an alternative to consider in the future. Quiet ride, decent grip, V shaped grooves, cheap..i am pretty happy with them, for a daily driver with some spirited dirving they are more than enough..
u'll replace them 20k miles later anyway...$100 each or $200 each no matter

How much do the Nexens weigh. The only other thing I admit about NanKang Tires is that they are a little on the heavy side, but I don't race my G35, because the roads in tampa kind of suck. Besides I am at the age now that I am out of the racing stages of my life, but I am not old enough not to push the car a little bit.

Nankangs in the wet

I have seen quite a bit about how the Nankang NS-2's work in the dry and snow. Does anyone have any experience with them in wet conditions? I have an 06 coupe with stock 19's. I need to replace my tires and was contemplating the NS-2's. I live in Seattle so I don't see much snow but I do see a lot of wet roads. This car is a daily driver for me and I don't thrash it around much. The original Bridgestones lasted 30k.

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i had them on my civic, civic had some alignment issues - couldn't find a single shop that could align it properly after my buddy moved down to kentucky (he did all the work on the car, lowered on tein ss-p) the car destroyed them pretty quick, once they were worn down it was like i was driving on ice when the road was slightly wet.
