Nankang AS 1 205/55 R16 91 V

AMAZING! Given that I am not a pilot but a regular user of the car with these tyres (I changed only two during that time: those in front) the car holds the road well. In both dry and wet conditions for Nankang AS 1 I haven’t noticed a lot differences: a tad bit less cornering grip in the wet, but I had to force my hand for it to slightly lose its grip, however, I immediately recovered. Taking curves absolutely precise and immediate steering response to stress. I could not try them on snow as it hasn’t snowed yet :) and I cannot comment on the durability, as I have them only for short period of time. Overall, I can only express absolutely positive opinion. I will complete the set with the two rear tyres and then purchase those tyres again! The price is definitely excelled. The tyres in question are mounted on a Peugeot 207 1.6 HDi 110CV. Finally, I wish to point out that Nankang AS 1 are made in China (along with almost all the products that come to us) although the company Nankang, one of the oldest manufacturers of tyres, is based in Taiwan.

I bought 4 new Nankang AS 1 tyres for my BMW E38, because I have an unpleasant impression of used tyres - size 2x 235/50R18 and 2x 255/45R18 and I can honestly say that the only one I can regret now is that I decided so late to buy brand new tyres. The new tread is performing very well, I tested them at 85 mph, and the Bmw series 7 is a heavy car. I will not buy used premium tyres anymore. I recommend new Nankang AS 1 tyres for the same price as used tyres of a higher class. Before buying I meticulously checked whether it is worth it and I can say with my hand at my heart that there is nothing to fear. I highly recommend Nankang AS 1 tyres !!! Many suppliers confirm that these tyres are of good quality. In addition, the company has been around for half a century, so it has a lot of experience and does not sell bad tyres. First of all, I was afraid that they would make noise, but they are really quiet. I really recommend these tyres to those who still hesitate. Try the Nankang AS 1 tyres and you'll find out that I'm right :-) Read more Collapse

I bought those tyres, because I needed cheap set for the summer quickly, and I didn’t want to spend money on used rubber. I was debating with myself if it wasn’t too risky , but it did not disappoint. I changed size 165/70R13 5j13 to 195/40R17 7j17. There is a big difference in grip and drive, of course, a big plus. Growth burning too big not noticed. The car less responsive now to some micro-inequalities which at 13inch could be clearly felt. The faster cornering is not a problem, the tyres stick well to less demanding turns, but on sharp bends I felt a slight loss of traction, in the dry conditions. In the wet conditions, they behave very well, the loss of grip occurs after heavy braking but only when speed was almost completely gone. The car without electronic support, but on these tyres easy to master. Overall, for this money, Nankang AS 1 recommendable. Read more Collapse

Car as standard came with high premium rated tyres fitted, I've worked in the tyre game for several years, I spent approx 15 years in that trade. My first opinion was to try and get new premium tyres at a good price, but over the years such tyres as nankang have made leaps and bounds in the tyre manufacturing process, as with all Motorsport teams now they find it very difficult to separate the differences of performance and agility from their race tyres, this engineering and processes are being handed down to us the average user of a product they test, maby some'll say all you pay for is the the name in many cases and this is true, but in my opinion such tyres as nankangs are a very competitive product that do and will carry on doing showing their big cousins up in a world that requires, a decent tyre of great value that helps the world go round...

For 170ps is enough, I have the 370nM and sometimes on second gear I have the impression as if it’s on the verge of losing its grip. In dry conditions there’s no difference between Nankang AS 1 and the more expensive competitors (previous I had PZero). They do not wear so quickly which is a plus. In the rain you can easily go on to the 150km/h. If I want to go faster, I need to focus because sometimes slight loss of control of the car can happen. The tyre looks nicely on the rim. I had several emergency braking from 210km/h and was positively surprised. If someone wants to go faster than 150km/h regardless of the wet conditions they might reconsider buying those tyres, but if ride up to 150km/h is sufficient, they can go ahead and buy.
