Does anyone else notice this?

  • Since I installed a Nankang NS-20 275/35R18 tire, I've noticed that during normal riding conditions on the Interstate that my rear end seems to be more responsive to minor steering corrections and feels like it sways slightly. Oddly enough, I don't really notice any sway when conducting rapid lane changes. I guess the rapid lane shift overcomes any apparent swaying since the rapid maneuver would be expected to cause some swaying. Several reviewers have criticized the NS-20 as having a soft sidewall, which would seem to explain the feeling. The NS-20 is priced similarly to the Kendas and offers slightly better traction in my opinion, although it doesn't seem to last as long as my Kenda rear tires did. Putting a Nitto 555 G2 on next.
