Why is that bad? they were the second option of tyre, 1st was Allices or something and the next step up was an extra £166 ontop of £867  :sad:

Depends which ones, I think the NS2's aren't too bad.

Yes i did.

1st set i could pick were....



2nd set were (what I went for as it was £21 more)



3rd set were (an extra £166 ontop on the 2nd set price which was out of my budget).



4th set were (took total price well over £1100) Ive had Yoko's before and they split on me after a week and Yoko refused to do anything about it as did National tyres so i'll never buy yoko's again



After that the price just went up, and up, and up.
In the grand setup of things I should of went with the 3rd option but my budget would just not go that far  :sad:

As for Nankangs are known for whatever you said there known for lol I don't drive my car around a track or like an idiot hence why i get on av 390 miles per tank. So im sure I will be ok :)

I know it's probably not what you want to hear but I really would have opted for the Falkens, I need all 4 tyres replacing and I half considered the NS2's as they are £40 a tyre cheaper than the Falkens. The reviews on the Falkens are considerably better, especially in the wet.

No I know that mate, my problem was i really could not afford to go that far, I really streched myself going with the nankangs, if I could of afforded it I would of defo 100% gone for the falkens.
