Nankang NS-2R Track Tyre - Anyone going to be trying them?

[M@tt_182]

Not known as making the best road tyres however will anyone be trying the new semi slick option? They seem to be a reasonable price at £78 a corner.

My Father had Nankang's track ones to, dont ask my why cos he drives a Seat Altea haha
but he said they worn the tread after 2 monthss of casual driving and droned when on the motorway, really loud!!!

 

[M@tt_182]

I'm also tempted to give them a go it'll be my first track orientated tyre so nothing to compare. I wonder if Camskill will be lowering the price even more?!

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Sure he didn't just have normal NS2s?

He said Track tyres, so unless he's just being a prick as normal then I dont know lol

 

[Jamie86]

They wont be selling them soon. Camskill will be the sole distributor for them

I take it you work for them?

As I know another company has realised prices for them...

saw these at Autosport, don't look a bad tyre and quite soft

 

[Sam@NP]

Quite interesting, the road tyres are terrible with a nasty break away low levels of wet and dry drip and very noisy. This puts me off their track tyres somewhat. But toyo make some destinctly average road tyres and make some of the best track tyres in the world.

If you want 15s then Yokohama AD08 are available in 195 50 and 205 50. Also Kumho XS KU36 are available in 205 50

I'm trying some federal RSR out soon as they're getting good reviews for the money, again I probably wouldn't choose their "normal" road tyres

These could be another tyre to test out when I need some more

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Ta Ben!

They look the part, quite similar to the ad08's. so I Suppose they fall in the same category as the Rsr,R1R and ad08?

Don't nankang already do a tyre like this? Called RS-2 or something like that?

 

[Bobby.]

Oh I see, so is this tyre like the replacement for the RS-2 then?

 

[Clio_Scott92]

well let us know how you geton whoever buys them as i seen these at autosprt. tbh he made them out to be amazing but thats what every salemans does!!lol

 

[Bobby.]

Think you've got slightly confused with the mention of a few different manufacturers.

This new tyre called NS-2R is made by Nankang, the RS-2 your thinking of was made by Hankook.

This tyre will be to compete with the likes of Yokohama AD08's, Toyo R1Rs and Federal RSRs.

oh yeah lol I always getting them two mixed up
