spotted a clean white series two R33 getting pulled over in front of me last nyte near harbour town at about 6pm..... anyone on here???

Steve,

Nankang NS2's simply... suck.

I had a mates 245/40/18 nankangs on my R32; straight line grip was worse than my el cheapo 225/50/16's and cornering was very understeery. They were basically new tyres. OH and they were super slippery in the wet both straight line and cornering.

That is compared to my 225/50/16 Federal 535's which are cheap tyres in their own right.

Purely for their poor wet weather performance I wouldn't touch them.

BUT a set of new Nankangs will still grip better than a stuffed set of better tyres so either way they will feel better than what tyres your running now.

I'd look at something else.

[Madaz]

Ah cheers for feedback joel just sang him and told him iv.e changed my mind again he be sick of me by the end of the day lol he said he will do a ring around and see what other skylines are running and get me a decent cheap but good wearing tire the ultimate paradox

I had Federals on the second hand set of 33 stocker rims when i first purchased them, and i must say, they lasted me the longest out of all the 225/50/16 tyres ive ever put on the 33! ... Khumo, Nankang, BobJane, Michelin all lasted nowhere near as long.

Performance/Grip is another thing tho eh!

saw cara's 34 the last couple of days out the front of clipsol

yeah i was working in the kitchen on tues and wed.

spotted a white r34 with black rims/nismo front turning from henley beach rd onto south rd, and also on south rd spotted a white with pearl r34 4 door...............looked very nice

Longest lasting tyres... The no longer Simex. They used to be fairly grippy when new but quickly went slippery.

I've had sava's; they chew out really quick and don't offer the same levels of grip in dry and wet that the cheapo federal 535's do.

I don't believe you can get the 535's in the 17's so you may be stuck with 595's which by all means are an awesome tyre but no doubt cost a little more.

As I said.. I was unbelievably disappointed with the NS2 245's; I couldn't believe a cheap 225 would hook up better than Nankangs flagship tyre. :S
