I too had the old ns2 nankangs and they were loud as heck lol. I just ordered a set of vertini fairladys and am going with Hankook evos..... Always better to go with tires you know instead of taking a chance on tires you don't. Can't wait for the new rims to get here. My old mrr h4s w like new Bridgestone potenzas are for sale, someone buy them lol.

I was considering the Nankangs cause they are cheap but many people said they are crap and cheap for a reason. I just ordered some Nitto 555 from Discounttiredirect.com for $670 free shipping and I also get a $75 rebate.

i just installed the Nankangs on my GS. I actually went with them because 235/35/20 was such a hard to find size. They are def louder then my stock tires, but going from a 17" -20" wheel im sure allows me to hear them more. I dont really find the noise distracting, I usually have the radio up a little. The only reason I comment on the noise is cause I was looking for it. I havent really driven them to aggressive, but they seem to ride ok and havent really noticed issues in the rain yet.
My big worry is rain performance, which seemed okay for now, I will def keep an eye on that. I also installed BC racing coils ( with swift spring upgrade ) and F sport sways. Handling has def improved alot , but I can say what effect the NS-20's have since Im new to the whole package.
The main reason was to get a 235/35/20 and a 275/30/20 to prevent rubbing. ( which I have none of ) My only other choice was the Nittos , but time will tell .
I would def consider them only to stay on the 235 size, but Nitto has the same size, and Im sure its def a better tire.

hello

they are vossen cv7 in 20x9 + 32 and 20x10.5 +45 235/35/20 and 275/30/20
BC Racing Coils and swift springs with f sport sways. No rubbing, no bottoming out, good handling around turns, and very smooth ride. I cant comment on the stock BCR coils, but from all reviews/research the swift springs are worth the $$$

sorry for thread jack
