Tires NANKANG or DEBICA

I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.

I've used the brand Nankang for a while they are cheap and i find them really good for a budget tyre

If you don't care about money and want the fastest tire get the nankang crs v2s.

I usually go for Nankang SW-8, as they are really cheap for how good they feel.

I've been using matador and debica all season tires and debica lasted longer and had better grip in bad weather conditions!

NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.

a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II

I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.

F'ing terrible compared to a reputable summer tire IMO.
