Tires NANKANG or FULDA
Got all 4 for 250€ with almost new Fulda tires on it, that was a steal in my eyes - had to get them. They are Fondmetal 5700 in ET38, 195/50/R15.
Pros: steal, almost new tires
Vehicle:
Mazda
ive ONLY been using nankang since i started operating VWs since 2003. +taken up to 120mph multiple times no problem +they stretch good; i used them on 9.5\" +at around $55/tire you cant go wrong for daily use
Pros: no problem at high speed, stretch good, inexpensive, good for daily use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I bought these a while ago basically to store my B5 on; they have seen the road for about 200kms back and forth to the paint shop. No scratches, bends, rash, nothing. The tires are Nankang 215/35s and have some camber wear but could easily be used for the remainder of this season and next season.
Pros: no scratches, bends, rash
Cons: some camber wear
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 200 km
Little bit too late, but i ma using the same tyre now. First impressions are really good, its quiet and comfort, acting well also. For that price i think you cant beat them with anything.
Pros: quiet and comfort, acting well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat CC
I had NS-2's and loved them.
Pros: loved them
So far so good. I've put close to 500 miles on them they seem to be really quiet, and handle well in the rain. They stretch well, ride quietly, and they are cheap so I have no complaints.
Pros: ride quietly, handle well
Mileage: 805 km
I had both ns2 and 512 on my 17x9 both were 205/45. The nankangs were decent but didn't give me the stretch I wanted like the falkens
Pros: decent tires
Cons: less stretch than Falken
I've run both tires on 18x8.5. The falken 215/40's were smaller than the 205/40 AS-1's..I rubbed hard with the As-1's The AS-1's are a pretty true to size. I know what you are trying to do, and the AS-1's won't help. Edit: this is the best picture I have to show how true the tires are..as you can see it's not a great looking tire for the size.
Pros: true to size
Cons: rubbed hard, not great looking
My nankangs stretched pretty well. However, They suck in the rain. Like, scary bad. But you can do crazy burn-outs, because they don't grip for sh!t. You get what you pay for, in this case unfortunately.
Pros: stretched pretty well
Cons: suck in the rain
They ARE crap. And that is spoken from someone who has had a set. Two of the 4 developed bubbles in the tread (tread separation) after about 10K miles.
Cons: developed bubbles, tread separation
Mileage: 10000 km
