Is the Nankang NS2 a good tire?
The Nankang NS2 appears in 1 independent comparative tire test in our database. It does not yet have enough comparative test results for a full Tire Lab Score, so treat the data below as indicative rather than definitive.
Where it gives ground. Testers place the Nankang NS2 mid-pack for wet braking and dry braking. That is not a fault so much as a design trade-off: compound and tread patterns that chase one discipline almost always concede something in another, and the tables below show exactly which tests drove that result.
Who should buy it. The Nankang NS2 suits drivers who prioritise balanced everyday performance and do not face severe winter conditions. Before buying, check the size you need is actually offered — performance varies between sizes, and test results are published for one specific size at a time. The full test-by-test breakdown and price comparison below let you confirm both.
