Had NS1s years ago and they was dangerous in the wet - easily lock up without applying much pressure and could spin in the dry with 80bhp FWD powah.

NS2s are ment to be better but I wouldn't trust any Nankang tyre again after previous experience.

My NSII's are pretty good in the wet tbh, only spin if i give it beans when pulling away. And i feel they've got amazing grip for low end performance tyres tbh.

I wouldn't even consider them. They are just dangerous! Very limited grip in dry and are horrendous in the wet. If you can't afford new tyres get part worn higher quality tyres. Yes, they may only have 4mm of tread but you won't find yourself imbedded in the back of someone elses car or in a hedge. I have been in a friends e46 M3 with Nankangs on the rear and you can feel the car drifting accross the road at 60/70mph it's the most disconcerting feeling and gives you no confidence. It's the same story in a 350z only it's even worse, the back end would step out so easily at 20mph it was comical.
