Nankang SV1 Winter Plus

I am extremely surprised at the life and durability of these tires! I paid $420 after shipping to Utah, have driven on them all winter so far (6 months) and they have not worn at all! Now keep in mind I am NOT a slow driver, hardly ever under 90 on the freeway and I do alot of quick shifting and heavy takeoffs. I dont notice any wear! I thought i would be replacing these tires next winter but i didnt care cause of how cheap they were, but NO! Im positive I will be putting these back on for the next 3 winters! Oh also they have excellent snow grip, but not amazing wet grip... Still exceptional, but not amazing. I am very impressed! I will definetly buy these again if I ever have to!

I bout my car with a pair of these on the rear wheels. When snow fell I put them in the front and felt change in performance immediately. Parking, accelerating and climbing hills was not a problem even on unploughed 20cm snow. I felt sorry for all BMWs, Mercs and Jaguars who were stuck on every little hill during the snowy days. I will buy again as they are due for replacing.

WOW - advised from other Mercedes oweners and lets say my Rear-wheel drive Merc CLS was better in 6 inches of snow than the wifes Honda CRV 4x4 !!!
Utterly awesome performance and grip - as if there was no snow at all.
Anyone with a german RWD car will know how god awful they are in snow - this is the answer and at £55 a wheel, well worth the money.
I did 8000 miles over winter and the tread depth only lost 1mm (now 7mm deep) which is FAR BETTER than the Conti's that were on the car.
Definately buying again next year for my other car.

Put these onto my Lexus IS 220D as i was sick fed up of asking for push out of pancacke flat supermarket car parks when there's 1/4" of snow on the ground!!

What a fantastic difference. They allow you to confidently predict how the car will behave in wintry conditions.
Its a little scary realising just how risky it was driving around on normal tyres before.
Also, my Insurance Co. didn't have an issue with changing over to winter tyre.

WOW - bought these tyres after seeing positive comments on Mercedes Owners forum. Mercedes CLS would not even move in light snow before, but with these winter tyres fitted it is as good as my Freelander 4x4 - have driven in snow depth upto 5 inches just fine, grips strongly in corners, climbs steep hills easily and brakes well coming down the other side. Fuel economy unchanged compared to my Summer Continental tyres. I was a tyre "Brand" snob - not any more, these are fantastic, and keep making me drive in the snow looking for other BMW / Mercedes drivers who are stuck - just to show off !!

This tyres on an Allroad C5 is awsome
