Nankang Tyres’ Position on the Market

Nankang Tyres sits in the middle of the market, delivering quality as well as value. It is typically positioned as a mid-range brand, that prioritises the provision of budget tyres that are also high in quality and versatility.

This is a tyre brand for drivers who want to ensure good quality for their vehicle but without paying the premium prices attached to other well-known brands. 

Some of the top tyre collections and models that sit under the Nankang brand name include the Nankang Econex NA-1 tyres which are designed for everyday driving, and the Nankang Sportnex AS2 Plus tyres which support high performance driving in the summer months. The Nankang NS-20 tyre is an all-season tyre option which excels when it comes to traction and performance on wet and dry road surfaces, while the Nankang Eco-2+ tyre is an eco-friendly option with low rolling resistance and a supportive structure.

Browsing the Nankang Tyres Catalogue By Season
Combining performance and safety with comfort and good value, Nankang has developed a collection of tyre types that cover all driver needs. These include options for those who want the convenience of all-season tyres that don’t need switching out when the weather turns, and dedicated summer tyres and winter tyres, as well as 4x4 tyres, SUV tyres, and car tyres for small and large passenger vehicles.

Nankang summer tyres feature improved drainage, owing to the position and pattern of the tread depth. Being able to navigate wet roads but warm conditions, as well as dry roads, is an important feature of summer tyres. These tyres also have a higher level of silica within the rubber compound, to ensure tyres remain stable and supportive in higher temperatures. Some notable summer tyres include the Nankang NS-2 ultra-high performance range, and cross sport tyres for different terrains.

Nankang winter tyres are designed to facilitate excellent grip on wet, icy, and snowy roads. They provide peace of mind and durability in cold conditions and have a more complex tread pattern which dispels water and surface ice and maintains good handling when cornering and driving straight. Some examples of Nankang winter tyres include the SV-4 range, the SV-3, the ICE-1, and the SL-6 range of tyres - all of which are built to balance safety with fuel efficiency for motorists across the UK and beyond.

All-season tyres are typically the most popular with UK drivers, as our temperate climate and lack of extreme weather conditions means that our vehicles can utilise tyres with the same tyre tread pattern all year round. These tyres perform just as well in the summer and winter months and combine safety with longevity. Some of the top performing all-season tyres from Nankang include AW-6 tyres, N-607+ tyres, and AW-8 tyres.

Choosing the Best Nankang Tyres

Nankang tyres may not offer the same performance levels as other tyre manufacturers, but their mid-level position in the market means that they do balance quality with value. Drivers who opt for Nankang quality tyres, whether they prefer seasonal tyre for summer and winter, or all-season tyres that are adaptable all year round, find that the value and low price is met with unrivalled longevity.

5/5

Nankang SP-7

Very pleasant staff and great customer service. We had to have a tyre changed on our campervan. It was done very quickly and efficiently. Excellent!

4/5

Nankang NS-2R

For track days only. More effort and warmth are required on out laps for the tyres to perform. Tyre pressure increase is different from Yokohama AD09. Comparably tread surface temperatures to Yokohama but feel different.

5/5

Nankang CX-668

The tyres perform extremely well on either dry or wet surfaces, and I would recommend them to anyone who owns an ADO16 BMC1100.

5/5

Nankang AS-3 EV

Great communication and excellent customer service. I would recommend. Very fast at what they do, changed 2 tyres in around 30 minute turnaround time whilst having multiple other customers to deal with at the same time …

5/5

Nankang NEX-1

After having Nankang NEX-1 tyres fitted for a few weeks, I can say that they have exceeded my expectations. The grip feels solid and very reassuring for the school run, on both dry and wet conditions. Noise levels are reasonable and not overly bothersome and they show good wear characteristics at the moment. I do a lot of driving on different surfaces, and these tyres have handled everything well, keeping that stability. Overall, especially for the price, I couldn't be happier. The dealers service was good too. Would recommend to others.
