I just put on a set of Nankang Greensport Eco Plus 165/60R12. Reviews seem to be all over the place but I've been happy with them so far, including in some recent rain. My area doesn't get snow at all so I can't comment on that.
I've been buying my nankang tires directly from the EU branch: https://www.nankang.eu/ Fast shipping.
If you want ATs because of looks, there is already a proven option: Toyo Open Country ATIII EV.
When it's time to replace the tires on my Mazda CX-5 I will put 3 Peak tires on it, but I intend to drive on the factory Toyo A36 tires until they are worn down and need replacing.
I have a 2014 with 19” rims but I love the AT3s (255/60/19). They look great. They fill out the wheel arches just right and look like the right tire for the kind of vehicle it is. I’ve got 16k miles on them and they have a lot of thread left, still look practically new. I don’t notice any freeway or road noise.
I’ve had absolutely zero issues running Toyo ATIIs year round and I know plenty of people who haven’t had issues with Duratracs or KO3s either.
Mickey MTs are my favorite for offroading, but they wear out super quick on the road. Running Toyo Open Country RT now. Offroad performance doesn't come close, but they are lasting awhile.
I tried the Nankang CR-S V2 to see if it’s any good. On the road, noise levels are good for this kind of tire, nothing to complain about. Also, driving normally, it handles rain without having issues. That being said, I don’t know if I can say that they handled my last trackday particularly well.
Once they are up to temp and I figured out the correct pressures, the balance was very neutral and it had immense amounts of grip. My laptimes were fast and consistent. So far, so good.
The day came to an early end though, due to a puncture on the front left tire. I am not sure what was the cause of this, but this is the only tire I ever had where it happened. Maybe it’s just really bad luck, but again, I’ve never had that happen with any other tire I used. Don’t mind the wear on the picture, the tire wore down badly because I did an entire (slow) lap on the flat tire when it happened, all the other tires showed no issues in terms of that.
I had the Toyos and drove 21k with the PHEV before they were down to 4-5/32". It is really important to check the tire depth every 2-3k and rotate as appropriate as they definitely wear quick when starting out.
Anyways, I mounted the tires in my wheels and right away on the tire balancer two they wobbled bad. I balanced them but they’re shit tires. The vibrate, have a very “hollow” pop type noise when hitting bumps, and overall a bit squirrelly on the road.
