Nankang AS-2+ 225/50 R17 98 Y XL, ZR

I’ve driven one season on the Nankang AS2+. I can compare them to earlier Uniroyals and cheaper Chinese tyres (although Cat A rated for rain) on this car and another one. This tyre is very good — it performs well both in dry and wet conditions. It doesn’t slip on quick starts, and locks up late during emergency braking on wet roads (though no miracles — it’s similar to RainSports). On dry braking, it’s excellent: the hazard lights activate before the tyres lock up, so it performs better than the car manufacturer anticipated. I highly recommend these tyres and will gladly use them on my second car when the Austone Athena SP27s I unfortunately chose there wear out. Read more Collapse

Very good value for money. Very good grip on dry and wet roads. Superbly balanced, no vibration or beating. The tyre specialist said they were quite stiff when fitting them to the rim - maybe because I bought the version with the reinforced profile as far as I remember. Nevertheless, in my opinion they are flexible enough and absorb bumps well. Read more Collapse

When I tried the tyre 4 years ago, I was laughed at by my colleagues. Today I have good tyres for little money that I can only recommend. Unfortunately, they have become expensive and are no longer as interesting when it comes to the price-performance ratio as they were 4 years ago. At that time I paid about 55,€, today it is more.

Good tyre so far, on a turbo mk1 mx5 running -10 camber, so far Tyre has severely topped the previous Falken tyre that was on previously, seems to handle the camber a bit better and was an easy tyre to fit, sidewalls not overly stiff at all but for a lower profile that is not essentially a bad point, would definatley buy again Read more Collapse

On dry tarmac they perform very well, you can hear a slight noise in the ride but they don't rumble, on wet tarmac they perform reasonably well, although they do buck slightly when moving off sharply, but it's not too bad. Overall I would recommend this tyre. Read more Collapse
