Nangkangs are fine imo. my mate has them and thinks they are worth every penny and he says they are better than his old pirelli p6000s (grip wise that is, as the p6000s last for light years!), there not a premium tyre eg michellin/bridgestone and the like but i'd say they're just as good as toyos or yokos. tbh you get what you pay for like anything else really mate!

personally, I and a few others refer to the Nankang (mainly the NS2) tyre as 'ditchfinders'. You might save some money but I wouldn't want to risk my car in the wet with them. Not too bad in the dry though so I guess in Spain you'd be ok :rolleyes:

cheers mate , to be honest i dont believe all that get what you pay for lark :angry: ive had yokos and toyos that have been both good and crap too , same as ive had cheapish ( not dirt cheapo ) tyres that have been sound and lasted ages , and been driven at 140mph too , without worry...
good to hear your mate has the nankang ones , i asked my old man an he has em on his beemer too , hes happy as well.. :smiley:
where i live they are 50 euros a tyre , compared to 140 euros for a yokohama...easy choice then :laugh:
