Nankang  Snow SV-2

I had no snow this year so have to leave the impression that they do not perform. This false reading is a function of the survey's unintelligent layout/creation!! These are great tyres on Scottish winter(!) roads and I am still using them in summer without obvious wear. My old van will not see another winter so I will never know about their snow-go! Whatever I drive next will have tyres like these if the price is similar. I don't drive fast but I don't brake much and these are like glue in a corner!

The best tyres for the money!

My local fitter advised the Nankang's as I was initially looking at BF Goodrich as they have "B" wet grip rating but there were none in the country and no expected delivery. The wet ratings are at summer temps which means that winter Nankang's with a "C" wet rating are much better than the summer Potenza's with an "A" wet rating when the temp is below 7degC. I decided to get some winter tyres after getting stuck the previous winter on Potenza's and discovering that trying to fit snow socks to a Fiesta ST when it's stuck in snow is not possible. This year I did not have much snow and the Potenza's would have coped but the car felt very sure footed. There were many mornings when the temp was below 7deg C and the Nankang's performed very well - much more confident than the Potenza's. Tyres gave very good braking and cornering grip, wet and dry. Slightly noisier than the Potentza's but not overly. Kept the tyres on from Nov-April and when they came off they looked like new. On returning to the Potenza's there is a noticeable improvement in grip, but now the temp is 10degC+ so is expected. Can't comment on the economy as most of the journeys are short and traffic dominates the mpg. I will definitely be refitting them for next winter.

Always a bit wary of trying a new tyre, but these tyres are great
