[evo3]

in Taiwan, they also using it for drifting... but the price for NanKang is quite very cheap if you compare to Bridgestone, Michelin or Yokohama Advan.

 

[b00n]

that's why i say nangkang cheap...
and they use for drift.......hmmmm.......but in a long run?....we'll be using it for more than 1 year though...
I saw in Spec-R that the review is quite good in terms of wet condition.

 

[LanEvo]

So where do u guys get ur tires from? Wanna do group buy anot? :P

 

[edgar_raphael]

hmmm..arent that my photos? damn you :p LOL

Yeah, apparrently Nankang is huge here, most drifters choose Nankang because they are dirt cheap and easily available and they sponsors Drift Australia as well.

I used Nankang before, wet road you can be prepared to say your prayer, not that is it not good but you can easily lost traction even with full thread. Lost traction as in during sudden apply torque on the wheels, but generally they grip alright.

In dry and hot surface, they are good (but not that good of course), but noisy.

But what the hell, they are dirt cheap compared to the other brands, considering you drive your car almost everyday with very high usage, they are well priced.

That is bullshit, the grip when wet is absolute crap, but fun :-D
