vs
Tires Nexen or NANKANG
i ran 215/35/18's NSII's on an 8.5 last year and they stretched well... drove them all over last season and when i sold them they were at about 70-75% tread life left... they rode good, they were quiet, and good in the rain. for what they are i couldnt complain.
Pros: rode good, quiet, good in rain
We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.
Pros: cheapest tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
i havent had an issue with tread life... i mean yea these arent no ****ing pirelli's or falken's. but for the price they've lasted me. and like i said i ONLY buy nankangs.
Pros: lasted for the price
Cons: not pirelli's or falken's
Im running 195/40/17 on my Corrado. I was never a fan of 17's but absolutely fell in love with these ultra rare BBS's and decided to buy then and put them on anyways. Since I didnt want to rub I bought smaller yet still reasonable tires. They are made by nanking but your brands are limited with oddball sizes.
Pros: smaller yet reasonable
Cons: brands are limited
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I bought Nexen tires for my MK4 (which is for sale BTW ) and I love them. They are great all around tires. I plan on buying them for my mk5
Pros: great all around tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I had the Nexen N3000's for about 23,000 and they were pretty great tires. They were the best tire I've ever had in the wet, decently quiet, balanced well and wore like rocks. If you are looking for good tread life and cheap price then these are great. If you need something sticky, these won't do... I hardly ever drive hard but when I did I found the limits easily. I bought 4 225/40-18's at 67 bucks a piece and sold them 23,000 miles later for 100 bucks and the guy was floored b/c it looked like I never drove on them.
Pros: great in wet, quiet, balanced well, good tread life
Cons: not sticky, limits found easily
Mileage: 23000 km
Part number: N3000
I liked Nankang tires, had 'em on my dad's old cars and lasted 50k km while very good in rain and dry.
Pros: long lifespan, good in rain, good in dry
Mileage: 50000 km
yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.
Pros: gets job done, last a while
Cons: not great
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
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Very hard tire, no traction and questionable quality. Lasted about 10K on my son's Jetta w/18's...
Cons: very hard, no traction, questionable quality, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 10000 km
