195 50 15
Yes, there are a ton of information about these, also too many different opinions with different setups, I was wondering how would nankang ns-2r(195-50-15) would suit a eibach-prokit(3cm) with 15" standard alloy,
will they rub?
how bad would it be?
got a video/demonstration?
is it worth the hassle over sportyness/comfort?
the big price difference, for the price of the ns-2r in 45 profile the best i can get is rainsport 3 / t1r

Shouldn't rub? Minimal difference. Google the tyre size or eBay it. Check results with tyre reviews to see what works and what doesn't. Some reviews are hideous. Nankang have grossly varied reviews so it looks like it depends on drive style to suit tyre.

Thank you for answering
I have been researching like a maniac and surprisingly at the top of the list its still the nankang ns2r 180 street version and am still very sceptical about buying a semi slick let alone buying a chinese nankang tyre..
On the rest of the list i had Bridgestone RE003 which unfortunately aren't coming out on the European market;
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 but since these are the "downgraded" version for the pilot sport 2 it just puts me off just knowing that, also there are better versions from michelin...
At this time am still researching exploring other tyres and verifying the B wet rating of the ns2r which seems really good for a semi slick

I would recommend sticking with 45 profile. 50s are hit or miss and things like actually tyre size ( is actually varies brand to brand and even model to model ) rim width, suspension setup and such like become deciding factors. Also begrip. Personally I would avoid anything to slick like if it's a road car unless it's just a summer toy. Personally if it's a road car I would avoid anything to race like unless it's just a summer toy. Most will perform far worse than there grip ratings would you believe on a typical UK slimy wet road.

Well i tried some 195-50-15 i truly recommend everyone NOT TO use them, depending on how low your rear axle is it will scrape in some bumps, and if you have 1-2 persons on the back its going to be a awful ride, in front it scrubs on full lock and some scrubbing if you are driving really hard a small bump appears/even a small rock for that matter.
In the research i found that PS3 are a bit of a downgrade due to the EU regulations on noise emissions not 100% sure
