vs
Tires NANKANG or OEM Honda
I have them. I used to have a Michelin PS4S, which lasted about 24k miles before my front tires basically have no treads left (1.5/32 I think). Difference is stark, in terms of noise in highway. NS-25 is just so much quieter and I realized I can hear my podcasts without raising the volume to where it used to be. In terms or ride quality, I can definitely feel that it is ever so slightly more firmer than the PS4S, but I didn't actually check what tire pressure my tire shop put them on as, so it's subjective I suppose. road feel and grip, albeit I did not push them too much, isn't that bad.
Pros: quieter ride, good grip
Cons: slightly more firmer
Mileage: 24000 km
I had a paid off Honda Accord that got 27mph. The only thing it needed was tires and oil. I found it pretty funny that I was getting $3500-4000 a year in mileage reimbursement when the car was only worth $1500.
Pros: only needed tires and oil
Cons: driving that car sucked
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.
Pros: decent track tyres, very affordable
Cons: not the razor edge
Vehicle:
Honda
I've used the brand Nankang for a while they are cheap and i find them really good for a budget tyre
Pros: really good, budget tyre
Cons: cheap
I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.
Cons: bad road noise
NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.
Pros: inexpensive, last long, excellent water handling, stretch nicely, no failures
Cons: hard to balance, loud, highway vibrations
a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II
Pros: stretch well, last long
Cons: noisy when worn
I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.
Cons: wore quickly, uneven wear, hard when cold, noisy, no off-road traction, blowouts, punctures

Mileage: 15000 km
F'ing terrible compared to a reputable summer tire IMO.
Cons: terrible performance
