Has NE1 run Nankangs?
« on: 05 May 2007, 16:10:17 »

Specifically the NS-2?  183 pounds for 4 delivered and then a tenner each for installation locally.  I have Nexens on there at the moment and those seem ok, other than needing to be replaced.

I cant remember what mine were on my corsa, but they were nankang, obviously the fact that the corsa is probably half the weight of an omega will have a completely different outcome on tread wear/life

i got about 18,000 miles out of mine from brand new

I have nexens on the rear, £70 each, fitted. They seem fine, but then again, I'm no boy racer ;D

TD is your man for info on nankang Theo, I believe he uses them regularly.

Yes, I like Nankangs NS2's  :y I get well over 30k outa them.

Tho last time i needed front tyres quick (the Nankangs failed the MOT for scuffing on the inside) so bought the cheapest my local tyre place had....these are not gonna last as long.
Also picked up a couple of new cheapos for the rear for £20 the pair fitted! This was a bad mistake....the road noise off them is terrible!

Carnt wait to get back to Nankangs NS2's  :y

You may want to shop about for the fitting of them.....i pay £7 a corner for fitting inclusive of everything.
£3 isnt a lot.....but its [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] if your getting all 4 done  :D

I intend to keep tractor for a few months - will take that long to fix the bloomin thing  >:(

Rear tyres are shot, and the wheels, imho, are possibly dangerous, so need to sort something...
