Nankang NS-2 Tiresm (NS2 NSII NS II) or recommendations

Looking for some feedback on "Nankang NS-2" tires. I can get a set @ < $350, but if they suck that badly, it's obviously not worth it.

I want a long lasting tire that wont hurt an evo's 60' that's running a 12.0 and are on the inexpensive side (and are 245/40/18)

edit: *ignore the "m" in the word tires in the title

Well, crappy tires like this are generally good for 60's, because they have a soft sidewall. Conversely, that means they suck for everything else the Evo is good at doing.

Well that's b/c u have "THE WORLDS FASTEST 10 SPEED" haha.

I just don't want them wearing out too quick and the only use they will get is drag racing and spirited street driving. I think i may keep my bbs's with my bfgoodrich kd's for track use.... hmmm

any other tire recommendations?

If you will never be using the Evo for autox or road racing, its possible to use normal tires. I have used Falken FK-452s and Kumho Ecsta MX as DD tires and they are grippy and quiet, but nothing like Advans for all out handling.

If you have an extra set off rims, why not get some drag radials for your race nights and use some street tires for DD?
