That is the wrong rolling circumference, so the speedometer will show the wrong speed.

Nankangs have that reputation. Hard compound + cold temps + wet make for an interesting combination. Ran some at Brands once on a cold morning. Lethal. However, I haven't tried NS-2 though.
Just google nankang tires. Just saying .... not questioning your judgement. Tire choice is another one of those subjective minefields.

NS2s are softer. Brands is notoriously slippery too

I had a set of 205 60 14 Nankangs on my old series 3 TWR..... they were really soft and I liked them, they had plenty of grip, ran them daily for 18 months.
