Yep driven on these and they are nice. Had them about a year and not done that many miles as they are on the second set of wheels that don't really get used but definately make the car feel good.

R888 when the road is dry and they are warm.
They do make a lot of noise but stick like glue

The KU31s are getting some great reviews here: Kumho Ecsta KU31 Reviews - tyre reviews, the online tyre guide but I don't think I'd want them on a skyline. For ultimate grip I'd want either the Conti Sportcontact 5ps or the Hankook (!) Ventus S1 Evo as they both did really well in this test: 2010 Auto Bild Ultra High Performance Tyre Test - tyre reviews, the online tyre guide

What size are you running and what sort of wear are you getting?

I wouldn't have said the performance difference is huge on a "normal car", but the 912 is the "comfort" option from falken, where as the 452 is the ultra high performance version so on a high power skyline, you're likely to notice the difference.

Do you mean Nankang, presumably the NS2?

You'd be a brave man to run these on a high powered skyline. I had a set on an MR2, fine in the dry for road driving, push on and they grain and lose all grip. Too hard to work well in the wet.

Lasted for ages though.
