I am using Nankng Snow Viva 2 for second season. I have bought them for a very decent price and I was surprised how good winter tyres are they. I have used these rubbers in every single winter weather conditions – high or fresh snow, slush or rain. They have the best grip on the dry surface, the worst performance on the wet, but this is completely normal for each winter tyre (we all know that winter tyres doesn't like too much rain). On these tyres I have driven about 8 000 miles. I have used them in the mountains, on the roads, where trucks need were not able to drive and my Nankangs were able to deal with every single hill – up and down. I really recommend these tyres. I have just ordered the same model but for a different size – big difference in size actually. I am very curious if they will be as good as the previous one. Tyres have a little bit different tread pattern. All in all – we will see during this winter. Unfortunately if you are driving on the asphalt – the tread war is much quicker. I have also ordered summer Nankang tyres for the same car and I hope they will be better than Vredestain – after year and a half I have two bulges on the sidewall.

I was not sure to buy this brand of tires, but I finally have them, also driven by good reviews. I am particularly pleased ABSOLUTELY respect. Unlike other winter are perfect and safe in the wet, although dry. Unfortunately, I did not test the snow but believe me, in the wet is just incredible.

I ride on the tires for 6 months. I've done about 7000 miles and I am pleasantly surprised. Before I had Michelin. After the change, lla first difference is the noise level of the bearing. The tires are extremely quiet. Nice drawing dande rolling. No excessive wear. I drive slowly. For my second car I'll buy Nankang Snow Viva 2 also. . Recommended for everyday driving.

I am using Nankang Snow Viva 2 for a half a year now. During the whole winter, spring and even now during the summer. I have driven o them about 5 000 miles and I am very fond of them. Before I had Michelins. After the change, the big difference is in noise level. Nankangs are very quiet. The trad pattern look very good. During the trip in the mountains there was no problem with driving up on the hills, starting or braking. I have the rule, that I do not change the tyres for the summer season and whole year round I am using winter tyres. I didn't notice a big tread ware. I am a calm driver. I will buy the same tyres to my other car. I fully recommend them to every day use. We will see ho they will deal in a next couple of years.
