vs
Tires NANKANG or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.
Pros: better than previous Subaru
Cons: horrible mileage for others
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 3540 km
MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:
Pros: MT71s are good
Vehicle:
Toyota Tercel
I have a Subaru with new snow-rated tires. That doesn't mean it's true for every other driver on the road.
Pros: new snow-rated tires
Vehicle:
Subaru
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
Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.
Pros: remote job sites
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
Nannkang NS20 is the cheapest tire that's good enough you won't think about it
Pros: good enough, cheapest tire
I’m a novice driver that has a total of 3 HPDE days on this set of tires. 2000 S2000, Nankang AR1 255 rear and 225 front. I had it aligned last year, with 1/4” toe in as per specs and most recommendations for the AP1 S2K. As you can see, my front tires have minimal wear compared to the rears. On track the lack of rear grip vs front is quite noticeable. There isn’t any wheel spin out of corners, the rear is just loose and twitchy in mid-high speed corners. I’m wondering if that’s why the rear wear is so much higher.
Pros: minimal front wear
Cons: lack of rear grip, rear is loose and twitchy
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
The fucking console rattles like a mother fucker. The stock tires are pieces of shit. The clutch pedal will make noise when it is cold because they used shitty spot welds on the pedal assembly. The ac compressor will probably fail within 50k miles.
Cons: console rattles, stock tires shit
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 80467 km
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
