Nankang sport ns-ii

Wana know what people think about these tires. They were brand new when i bought the car 3 months ago. So far they have been great to me. I went up to bear mouton for a car cruise, my god they took the turns like crazy, not once did i hear them scream and i was flying through the turns. No problems in the rain and in the snow they did better then what I thought. Also i cant find out if they are summer tires or all season.

Good for the money I guess. I always thought they were pretty noisy and wore poorly but they are cheap so you can not really expect that much.

Look at the side of the tire, after the size stamping it should have an M+S if its an all-season. Of course you could always google them to find out as well.

I did a quick search out of sheer curiosity, and came across a review site from the UK. The user reviews fell into two distinct camps. Some folks liked the tires and their low cost, and other cited gross performance-driven anomalies. We don't all drive the same way.

Well Bear Mountain, or bear mouton, sure is a good place to test them out if you like tight turns with limited-to-no margin for error.

Lol I typed that late at night with one eye open. My iTouch likes to edit and give me strange words. The tires were really good, I took some turns really hard and they performed really nice. On one turn i think my right side of the car was like less then a foot away from a cliff. Their was a Miata that smacked the guardrail on one turn.

I have an HTC Evo and also suffered the woes of a virtual keyboard which fortunately have been greatly reduced with Swype.
My last phone, a Palm Pre, used to auto correct the word "Per" and name "Nicole" to be Pee and Nipple respectively, which was not a problem until I had to quote my colleague Nicole and wrote "Do it Pee Nipple." So what's a little "bear mouton" amongst acquaintances?!

You can see the M+S on the label in one of the pics.

I think Nankang is a very low budget tire and meant for escalades with 22's. I would wear them out asap and get some better tires like the Azenis. Falken also makes some decent tires which wear moderately.
