vs
Tires FEDERAL or NANKANG
I've got Nankang's and i've had them for two years now (only runnin them in the summer)...They were cheap n i was broke so they were my choice :laugh: Haven't had a problem with them yet:thumbup:
Pros: no problems, cheap
i ran 215/35/18's NSII's on an 8.5 last year and they stretched well... drove them all over last season and when i sold them they were at about 70-75% tread life left... they rode good, they were quiet, and good in the rain. for what they are i couldnt complain.
Pros: rode good, quiet, good in rain
Federal Tire Quality- Just like any tire it truly depends on the model/size. I have had 165/45's and they are junk for daily driving. I am currently rolling on 205/40/16 Federal 595's and I love them.
Pros: love them
Cons: junk for daily driving
i havent had an issue with tread life... i mean yea these arent no ****ing pirelli's or falken's. but for the price they've lasted me. and like i said i ONLY buy nankangs.
Pros: lasted for the price
Cons: not pirelli's or falken's
formoza 165 45's.... i gotz 2 sets. they are great. and fairly cheap.
Pros: great, fairly cheap
Im running 195/40/17 on my Corrado. I was never a fan of 17's but absolutely fell in love with these ultra rare BBS's and decided to buy then and put them on anyways. Since I didnt want to rub I bought smaller yet still reasonable tires. They are made by nanking but your brands are limited with oddball sizes.
Pros: smaller yet reasonable
Cons: brands are limited
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I got some Federal 215/40/18's from Josh @ Sterling Tire and I think they're great! They stretch well, have a bit of a lip protector and aren't loud. The traction is great, especially in the rain.
Pros: great traction, stretch well
Cons: bit of a lip
Have been riding Nankangs for over 100,000 miles now. No real issues, but as mentioned thread life is not the greatest but it's not horrendous either, I probably got like 20-30,000 miles out of a set. I think they are worth the $, as long as you're not looking for super performance out of them.
Pros: worth the money
Cons: tread life not greatest
Mileage: 160934 km
yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.
Pros: gets job done, last a while
Cons: not great
Very hard tire, no traction and questionable quality. Lasted about 10K on my son's Jetta w/18's...
Cons: very hard, no traction, questionable quality, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 10000 km
