Nankang tyres are the worst I've ever had the discomfort of driving on


Never heard of wanli's, can you not pay few extra £ and get something decent?

Much rather pay extra money on tyres rather than having to fix a smashed up car

Wanli use an old Bridgestone tread pattern, but they're shocking as the rubber is like plastic

Budget tyres will never be 'good' they will just be tyres. If you want decent quality unfortunatly you have to pay more for it.

I never get top spec tyres, even though i get them cheap.

A set of kumho KU31s are fantastic for the money

Ive never had a problem with nankangs personally.
The name sounds shit, but the tyres are "ok"
