what about the NANKANG NS-2 FOR THE E34

[paschalisg]

Is there any opinion to put the Nankang NS-2 in my E34 525?

I think if you remove the spare tire and put one in there, one on top in the trunk, one on the back seat and the last on the front seat they will fit good. I just did this about a month ago with no problem.

:-))) what make do u suggest?

[632 Regal]

huh? any make should fit in there. I mean as a tire that would fit the BMW, as to transporting truck tires or something I dont think they would really fit in there.

hhaha jeff unkind mate....
I think my car had a pair of those(255/40/17 when i bought it,had no complaints until they were vey worn,then they upset the steering ,tho i spose any tyre would.They wore very badly on the inside edges on the rear but the tyre place said it had been run with poor alignment at some time.Hope this helps.

I searched for info regarding them tires and couldnt find anything like where they were made, cost, wear ratings etc so thats what led to my answers. I pmed pasch with this same info and still dont see any links for info.

Nangkang tires are made by the same manufacturer as Yokohame and use a similiar silica compound. They are very popular in New Zealand on the Subaru Imprezza sti/555 and are factory delivered on request on the Skyline GTR in Japan. I have them right now on my 325 coupe and they are great value for money. It'sjust like the Toyo's, a few years ago nobody heard of them and now they're becomming harder to afford as the years go by. Excellent tire in the dry, hard cornering very controlable in the wet, just slightly weak under hard wet braking,.
