vs
Tires NANKANG or Maxxis
MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:
Pros: MT71s are good
Vehicle:
Toyota Tercel
Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.
Pros: work well in heat
Cons: more pace than V730
If you want something that’ll stretch closer to 15 to 20k km, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 has held up way better for me as my last set went just under 17k km before chunking.
Pros: held up way better
Cons: before chunking
Mileage: 17000 km
Since switching to Maxxis DoubleDown, I've had no problems at all.
Pros: no problems at all
If you want as much choice of casing and compound as possible go Maxxis - DHRII or Dissector. Dissector is faster rolling and perfect for dry loose rocky.
Pros: faster rolling, perfect
Cons: hard to get
For proper DH right now the most loved combo is Maxxis Assegai front / Minion DHR II rear, both in DH casing + MaxxGrip.
Pros: most loved combo
Nankang are cheap budget tires. They might have ran out of money recently and have been cutting corners on maintenance.
Pros: cheap budget tires
Cons: cutting corners
Can be quality of tyre as well also your driving style. If tyre have soft compound it will go down quicker. I went trough set in 6 months. Maxxis premitra 5. Good grip but my god, they disappeared day by day.
Pros: Good grip
Cons: disappeared day by day
I had these exact tires on an Acura TL. I wouldn't recommend them, they were not great in the winter. They were also really loud on the highway and they wore really quick.
Cons: loud, wore quick
Vehicle:
Acura TL
I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.
Cons: started to split
Vehicle:
MINI
