vs
Tires NANKANG or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Budget for snow tires. AWD is not magic, and you generally can't use chains with AWD systems. In terms of cars, Subarus are good and reliable. I've owned two Foresters.
Pros: good and reliable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
Pros: solid wheel spin
Cons: needs drag radials
With snow tires on my accord I was more successful than many Subaru owners who were stuck in the ditch.
Pros: successful in snow
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Replaced my OE Pirelli P-Zeros for Nankang CS-R tires! Super grippy and wonderful feedback!
The P-Zeros only lasted 6k miles on aggressive camber. I hope the Nankangs last close to that, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Pros: super grippy, wonderful feedback
Cons: short lifespan (Pirelli)
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 6000 km
They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.
Pros: cheap, good as main brands, no problems
I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)
Cons: suffer more in rain
These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).
Cons: chunked away, rings of cords
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.
Pros: wears well on track
Cons: tricky balance, not best wet
Can't speak to an Elantra N, but on my GT86 they were very noisy and very uncomfortable.
Cons: very noisy, uncomfortable
Vehicle:
Toyota
Have driven on Noble Sport NS20. Is bad, wouldn't recommend for the price point.
Cons: bad, not recommended
