vs
Tires Uniroyal or NANKANG
Nankang FT-9 tires have been awesome for me. I basically rally my little van out in the woods so I can attest to their durability.
They also handle pretty well on road.
And they are LT rated!
Pros: awesome durability, good on-road handling
I run a taller/skinnier than stock Uniroyal Laredo AT in my truck and love them.
Pros: love them, taller/skinnier
Uniroyal are good, affordable tires.
Pros: good, affordable tires
These are comfortable highway tires that ride SMOOTHLY and quietly. I am selling as I want to begin dune bashing so I upgraded to All-Terrain tires.
Pros: comfortable, smooth, quiet ride
Mileage: 9000 km
I’ve had a set of Uniroyals (Tigerpaws) on my 2010 ford focus slider. They’ve been on for quite a few years now, no noticeable cracking, and treadwear still good.
Pros: treadwear still good
Cons: ford focus slider
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Nankang AR1’s are absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t recommend driving on them in anything but completely dry weather as they’re basically a road legal semi slick.
Pros: absolutely amazing
Cons: poor in wet weather
2nd pic shows dry rot cracking. Odd for a new tire after 6,000mi. You could try warranty through Uniroyal.
Cons: dry rot cracking
Mileage: 6000 km
Consumer reports says:
Pros: Solid performance in the areas of dry braking, handling, hydroplaning resistance. Solid treadlife performance also.
Cons: Just average rolling resistance performance which can have a negative impact on vehicle fuel efficiency.
Pros: Solid dry braking, handling
Cons: average rolling resistance
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
Dude, my set of nankang tires from week 44 2023, stored in a shipping container, are worse than this. Literally sidewall cracks all over. Tossed that shit out so fast...
Cons: sidewall cracks all over
