vs
Tires NANKANG or DEBICA
Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.
Pros: good, cheap, can take beating
Cons: without shredding to bits
So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.
Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.
Pros: consistent, good feedback
Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.
Pros: good price, good quality
Vehicle:
Honda
Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.
Pros: mid range, more than enough
Cons: avoid budget tyres
Vehicle:
Citroen C1
Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.
Pros: Nankang CRS hands down
215 on a 9.5.. i must however say that falken 512s stretch much better than these(although i was happy with how my nankangs looked on the c5's)
Pros: happy with the look
Cons: less stretch than Falken
I liked them when I had them. Dry and wet they were pretty good, in the snow...not so much.
Pros: good in dry/wet
Cons: not good in snow
I ran a set of Nankang tires for 4 months. They came on the wheels I bought and they had good tread, so I figured that it would just be a waste for me to spend money on new tires while running these. They are not great - winter traction is non-existent, it was legitimately scaring driving on these tires when it was below 20 degrees outside and my car is AWD so that's saying something too (I didn't die though so I guess it's okay ), dry traction is okay, but tires feel very numb. They ride kind of hard too and are noisy. I do drive them up to 100+ usually. Haven't had an issue so far. I am taking them off and putting a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3s. I am expecting big improvements. So my recommendation: don't buy them. save the money, use your current set, and when you have enough, get a decent set of tires.
Pros: okay dry traction, no issues
Cons: poor winter traction, numb feel, hard ride, noisy
Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
Pros: were nice thru February
Cons: cabin is loud as hell
