vs
Tires NANKANG or Maxxis
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
If you are looking at 25c, I think Maxxis Re-fuse is a much better deal at about half the price.
Pros: better deal, half price
Mileage: 16000 km
Get Ns1's. Handle heavy load, stretch well, and respond well to over inflation.
Pros: handle heavy load, stretch well
I got a set on some wheels I traded. I think NS7000 is on the sidewall. They are alright, they are round and black. I haven't had a flat and I go into the uber crappy Boston roads all the time, no bubbles no tread defects. They are just run of the mill budget tires. Would I get them again? Probably not. Can I find anything to complain about? Not really.
Pros: no flats, no bubbles, no defects
Cons: budget tires
I run 2.35s and it certainly doesn't fit super well, however it's not that big of a deal. but if i'm going to have it on the rack for a longer drive I just air down the tire. i run the nevegal dh tire or the maxxis holy roller so the sidewall knobs interfere, I just crank down the straps.
Pros: straps crank down
Cons: doesn't fit super well
I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
Cons: very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction
