Nankang NS2 235/45 17's
Dry performance 6/10
Wet performance 3/10
In the dry once they are warm they were pretty good. though after 3-4 laps you could feel the sidewalls etc moving around. i was pretty happy
for them in the dry for what they are.
In the wet is a different story. No grip what so ever, the smallest bit of throttle would spin the rears and corner speeds would see the rear
the squirm then the front and end up in four wheel sliding, which was a quite unpredictable.

While i was impressed with the dry performance of the ns2's these are in the different league. Worth 1-2 seconds on the track easy. corner entry
and mid corner grip is fantastic.
Performance in the wet is unbelievable, having grip turning in and around the corner is amazing. around longer radius corners i could feel the sideways moving around with a hot pres around 38-40. but this was at least quite predictable.
have done 2 track days now, one in the wet and done about 800km on them, only signs of wear are the sidewall fingers are all long gone.
