Auto Nankang tires 195/55 R16
Opinion Kieran:
3.8
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.

Very nice tires for a reasonable price

Since 1998 I've been driving with Conti or Bridgestone and than I realised that 3-5 season tires are just tragic and I decided to buy new Nankangs NS2. 225/45/17 are realy good. They are much more quiet than Dunlop Sport 2000 and Fulda Exelero. They are not feathering.I checked them in a quite huge rain and I wasn't disappointed. I wont dispute with fake drivers who claim that any new tires are hopeless. They should know that driving into a wall of rain on hot tires or braking in the rut full of water even with the most expensive tires can be dangerous... you cannot cheat the laws of physics. The new tire from a less known Porducent will always be better than multi-seasonal from best known. I have tested them in Corsa, Getz, Panda, AstryII, A3, A4, A6, C and E classes during winter and summer. I was very skeptical about the Nankangs but they suprised me positively..It makes no sense to overpay and buy expensive tyres when you can buy cheaper and comparable Nankangs.
