I've seen online reviews saying that Nanking run wide...275 is equal to a 285.

So I went to the BMW forums and found several people who are actually using the tires for track use as well as daily drivers.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I actually haven't heard of them before but that's what was on the car when I bought it. I started doing some research and most reviews (although there are not very many to be found) were good. I'm looking at a price of about $90/tire which seems too good to be true. Anybody have any experience with the Nankang brand and specifically the NS2 model?
Well after digesting all the ingenious and insightful comments provided here, I still wanted to find out more. ... So I went to the BMW forums and found several people who are actually using the tires for track use as well as daily drivers. All positive comments, especially about their treadlife and quiet ride. Also found out that Nankang has a contract with Ford to provide OEM tires for some models (which ones, not sure?). Discount Tire as well as several online companies sell them. For the price I may have to try them again. I've got no complaints with having them other than the availabilty in Porsche OEM sizes...
There, we now have 1 thread on this forum that will turn up if anyone ever searches for nankang tires.
At that price I say roll the dice and get em, report back. Men kept cars on the road with bias ply tires, I'm sure yours won't implode from some chinese rubber.
I've sold the Porsche since I bought the tires but did get to put about 7-8k miles on them. For the money they are great tires. They are pretty quiet, good dry grip, average wet grip, and seem to wear well. No problems with them during the time I was driving on them.
I now have an E55 Mercedes needing new tires. I'm debating on trying a set of Nankangs.
If I do I'll report back and see how they handle aggressive driving with 525 ft/lbs of tq.....
thanks for starting the thread and the pictures and reviews. I am going to get them for my Cayman S Black Edition. just wondering if Nankang is Z rated.
my current tires are:
Front: MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT 265/35
Z
R19 XL 91Y UTQG: 300 AA A
Rear: MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT 265/65
Z
R19 XL 99Y UTQG: 300 AA A
and am moving to :
Front: Nankang NS-20 235/35R19XL 91Y BSW UTQG: 240AAA
Rear: Nankang NS-20 265/35R19XL 98Y BSW UTQG: 240AAA
I know I am moving down to a cheaper quality. as long as they are ok for the speed. I am fine with the cheaper quality.
Let me know guys.
thanks

Question: Older info I read indicated a Z speed rating for the NS-20, which is for speeds up to 150. Is this no longer accurate? I also remember the nankang load ratings were somewhat low compared to similar tires.
I readily admit that I also buy non-N tires, but the speed rating would concern me.
Nankang and Milestar are both owned by Tireco.
I ran Milestar 932 on my Acura now for two years. Very good tires for the ridiculously low price. Very quiet, wear well, and have good traction in the dry and wet. I had them out in the snow once, they did OK.
I have testet The NS-2, NS20 and the NS2-R
Ns2 and NS-20 is quiet, easy to do skids, and not perfect in the wet conditions.
NS2-R is a cheap semi slicks that realy is bang 4 bucks, perfect on high HP driftcars.
Yep I have them on mine and actually 2 other cars. Great tire for the $.
