    Federal RSR vs Nankang NS2-R

    Anyone run the NS2-R tyre on their megane ?

    Struggling to get the Federals in the 235/40/18 variant I need. Dropping down to the 225/40/18 that the R26.R came with.

    I have been informed via a tuner ( Cazan Racing ) that the Nankang NS2-R is a great tyre.

    Anyone any experience of them ? Compared to a RSR?

    Nankang aka "Ditch finders"

    Worse tyre you could put on a performance car, its a budget tyre mate, steer clear.

    Hi fella.

    Thats what I thought. They are known as TDF ( Taiwanese Ditch Finders )

    However, they appear to be trying to break out of the mold , and producing these.

    A bit like Falken to an extent , they made average tyres other than the RSR.

    Have a look here, and here to see what I mean.

    I have read that they are trying to crack the road legal slick market to.

    Unless I was fitting them on a 1.2 run around town car, I would look else where.

    Even on the newer nankangs.

    The RSR are supposed to be awesome.

    I guess it also depends on how many miles you cover in 6 months ..

    Well, that speaks for it self really don't it, I mean, you wouldn't use drag slicks for drifting.
