I run the 135 Nangkangs and I find them fine. Chances are if you're running them on your car it's going to be drag oriented so it won't be set up for taking corners like a circuit/hill climbs based car would anyway.

I find that driving sensibly that they are fine in all conditions. Obviously if you plough into a corner too fast the tendency is for it to under steer but at normal speeds I've never had a problem. Same in the wet, I'm more worried about the tail stepping out than I am about the front having troubles.
