Brilitant tire. Very nice price / quality ratio. Nankangs AS 1 behave well no matter if it is dry or wet weather. Very nice choice for those who like to "put-down" :) No skidding, no squeaking! Recommend!

Sensational tyres. My car sticks to the road like glued. Some say that Nankangs are weak but AS 1 has been made very good. No problems with balancing. My car handles very well. For such price nothing better can be found.

Having an Alfa Romeo 159 Ti tire size 235/40 ZR19, the choice is very limited. I already tested the German tire and italinne brand are top but very very expensive and they wear more in 1 year (30000km). So I am very pleased with Nankang AS 1 that really surprised me :) On dry ground nothing to say, they are very smooth and quiet. Wet I'm a little wary because the precise driving times maque. Next time I'll try another brand but also cheap, it really is worth :)

Perfect on wet surface. Driving trough deep puddles makes no problem for Nankang AS1. They don't loose grip. They are perfect on dry condition as wel. They act like sticked to the tarmac.

Very silent tyres- even if driving over 90mph there is no noie. No skiding on we road surface, grips confidently in tight corners. I recommend NankangAS1 for all those people who don't want to overpay and who want to have good quality tyres.

AMAZING! Given that I am not a pilot but a regular user of the car with these tyres (I changed only two during that time: those in front) the car holds the road well. In both dry and wet conditions for Nankang AS 1 I haven’t noticed a lot differences: a tad bit less cornering grip in the wet, but I had to force my hand for it to slightly lose its grip, however, I immediately recovered. Taking curves absolutely precise and immediate steering response to stress. I could not try them on snow as it hasn’t snowed yet :) and I cannot comment on the durability, as I have them only for short period of time. Overall, I can only express absolutely positive opinion. I will complete the set with the two rear tyres and then purchase those tyres again! The price is definitely excelled. The tyres in question are mounted on a Peugeot 207 1.6 HDi 110CV. Finally, I wish to point out that they are made in China (along with almost all the products that come to us) although the company Nankang, one of the oldest manufacturers of tyres, is based in Taiwan.

I bought 2 pieces because I broke my Dunlops on Ukraine. I bought next 2 in Poland. They are brilliant on dry road surface. Everything was ok and my Espace was probably satisfied as well :) They are resistant to bad, cheesy roads. Silent and quite fancy looking. The dream comes to an end if the rain falls down. They skid while moving-off even to the 3rd gear. braking below my requirements. Aquaplaning- average. Till 80MPH you cannot fell that they lose grip.
