They did on mine
I had the bridgestones and tbh I prefer the Nankangs, mainly cause the stretch looks much better, check out my project thread when it's on the blue ronals front tyres are nankangs and rears are on bridgestones

They'll be okay as long as you dont go to mad on the camber,
Mine was at 2 1/2 degrees before now at 1 1/2 degrees on the front and 1 degree at the back and they haven't worn out to badly
