Nankang Tyres

[theWizard]

Anyone had any experience of Nankang tyres for grip wear etc?

[+Steve]

nangkang are not a good tyre... found them to be useless in the wet.

not too bad in the dry once they have got a bit of heat in them. crap in the wet though, quite hard compound and wear quite well but grip is a definate sufferer.

theres much better tyres out there if you stump another 20 quid a corner

i actually have them on mine and it depends on your driving technique as they grip hard in the dry and arent bad in the wet providing you dont plant it through a corner!

I also have them as they came with the wheels, if you like excess understeer buy them!!

Ive just fitted them on the back of my mr2 and find them

to be very grippy on dry roads and fairly good in the wet but i'm

very carefull in the wet so ive never really tested the tires limits.

Absolutely useless in wet. Never buy them again. :ffs:

Absolutely useless in wet. Never buy them again. :ffs:

just reinforce this with the fact ive now crashed twice with them!

avoid at all costs!

I caught a Kerb in my old Ibiza 2 days after having 2 new 205/40/17 nangkangs fitted! Useless!

However they do have a nice pattern and sidewall unlike some of the other cheap tyres

i have eagle f1's on mine. they are the best tyre i have ever fitted to it.

loads of grip and stopping power
