5/5Nankang XR-611Great traction and extremely quiet. My last tyres which I had for 12 years were Dunlop. Even with plenty of tread, the sides were cracking due to age. Hopefully these new ones will prove to be just as good. I used to use 215:50/15, but since these are getting hard to find, I've gone to 225:50/15, which is a common change for a lot of Audi Quattro owners.
5/5Nankang XR-611I have had these for about a month now and I am satisfied with their performance and comfort.
5/5Nankang XR-611These are far superior to the previous ones - which had worn tread (not mentioned in the MOT a week ago!!)
4/5Nankang XR-611There's slightly more road noise, but for the price, it's reasonable. They are still yet to see if they will last as long as the original Bridgestone tyres did for the whole year.
2/5Nankang XR-611Ideal for driving in urban environments, but not ideal for driving in rural environments and down country roads. These tyres have a marginally slight improvement in grip for driving through water covered roads and surfaces than the Continentals, yet are difficult to balance and feel wobbly over 55 mph. My wife only drove in the city with them, and for long drives we used my Subaru Legacy Spec B with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Now, we have changed her car to a new Fiat 500x, which is her own choice. Since the tread was almost gone, we decided to put on budget tyres, and since the car had to last a few months, we decided not to go for a long term option. Considering that, they are perfect for the city driving that is all you need and they are less than a single Conti replacement.
