Can't complain for the price I paid. Especially in this size. I would buy them again. I was surprised how long they lasted

I bought this tyre because I needed a cheap replacement for my previous Pilot Exalto 2.
I usually trash the car on twisty roads so tyres are submitted to a torture test.
Grip on wet roads is precarious, really dangerous tyre, understeer paradise. When new they don't aquaplane easily on a straight line however.
Grip on dry roads is ok but of course inferior to the Michelins and Pirelli I had before. They are crashy and uncomfortable but I also have stiff suspension so not important.
They lasted quite well regarding the driving style but coupled with the price these are really the only its great features.
Gone replace them for hankooks v12 evo 2 so I will not buy again

I have a lead foot for my sins, and have always been in the mindset that the big brands were always better to have. Over the life of this car its had all sorts, continental contisport contacts (not worth the money in my opinion) toyo TR1s, pilot sport 3s, goodyear eagle f1s etc etc. While these arent quite as good as the PS3s or F1s they are a steal at £190 for 4!
I do motorway driving to pick up my girlfriend from uni once per week on a motorway that often has lots of surface water, but the nankangs seem literally impossible to aquaplane, I mean I'e actually tried but I just cant get them to do it! In the week I do mostly A roads for my commute to work and Ive just reached the tread markers on the front after 40,000, the rears still have 3.5mm according to my depth gauge! They take an absolute beating and handle almost aswell as proxes. Braking distance is kinda average, but anyone with sense wont be driving centemetre from the car in front anyway. Strong sidewalls may I add which add to the longevity of this excellent tyre. Will DEFINATELY buy again!

Tires are relatively new with around 90% threadlife but the one istalled in front wheel drivers side has cracks all aroung it... All over its sides...

Just fitted those on my wife's car used mostly for city driving.
Maybe it is because they are new, but they are very quiet, the steering, brakes and acceleration feel very safe.
I like them so far. They don't feel like cheap tyres to me.

Very bad grip on wet. It's like driving on ice.

I drive a fiesta st150. I am 42 so I don't drive as a boy racer. These tyres has no grip at all. Of course you will realised that when you really need grip.on dry it has low grip, but in wet conditions no grip at all......... Maybe it is a good product for a trailer or for suicide but don not bother with these cheap shit. ( I bought the car with these 'tyres') I would not say 'nankang tyres', these are just spacers between wheels and the asphalt.

I have just purchased a 2003 Porsche Boxster with 4 New Nankang Tyres. Just finished reading all the comments here and I am at a loss as to these tyres being good or bad. The car has a fair bit of get up and go and to date, one month, it has not been in the wet. The little I know about tyres doesn't help me at all as to them being the "Bees Knees" of tyres. They are on the car, appear to satisfy my needs, I am a gentle driver, so I will keep them and use their on coming history as a guide line for the next set I will have to purchase.

Horrible. Bought as they were cheap and there are few options in the 235/35-r18 size. Feedback is not too bad. Dry grip is ok but has nothing when pushed. Car is GC8 Wrx with coilovers and bigger sway bars. Tyre cannot generate enough grip for suspention to work properly. Very unpredictable when pushed hard. Sometimes plough understeer. Sometimes oversteer. Wet performance ? Make sure your life insurance is up to date, cause DAMMM !! With any steering lock Will spin all 4 tyres as boost comes on in 2nd & 3rd. Only have 200hp at tyres !

Bought these the other day and I just wanna get them done with ASAP. Compared to my stock goodyears this is terrorising. I had to balance the tires once again within 300kms of first buying it. bumpy ride even now and due for another balancing. The only good thing that ever came out of a Chinese factory are those that carry an Apple logo. Signing out...before i shed tears

This is old tire model, but if this review helps someone...They were not that horrible on normal driving. Somewhat reduced grip on wet, but mostly very average tyres. I think Nankang might have quality issues, because some will praise them, and others are trashing them. We have quite rough roads in Finland, and mostly very strict speed limits, so I have very limited experience from progressiveness or how it handle at the limits. However, I had never any issues with these.

Honestly, worst piece of rubber I have ever mounted on my car. I bought them one summer when funds were tight, and I regretted it the whole time. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THESE. Trust me.

These things can't grip worth shit in the dry weather. I get wheel spin in 5th gear trying to pass on the highway. Wheel spin at every stop light. Wheel spin coming out of a turn. I have a FWD car with just over 200hp....not exactly a powerhouse.

Surprisingly they are a bit better in wet weather. Noticeably less wheel spin.....but it still happens.

Comfort wise, they are on the sportier side, but I don't mind. I like my tires firmer with good feedback.

Wear was pretty good....until one of the front tires blew.....probably from too much wheel spin.

Basically, what I am saying, spend the extra couple hundred bucks and get a good set of tires. These are not worth the savings. All you'll get is frustration and wheel spin.
