Tires NANKANG or Barum

Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.

In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.

Nankang FT-9 tires have been awesome for me. I basically rally my little van out in the woods so I can attest to their durability.

They also handle pretty well on road.

And they are LT rated!

I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.

These are comfortable highway tires that ride SMOOTHLY and quietly. I am selling as I want to begin dune bashing so I upgraded to All-Terrain tires.

Nankang AR1’s are absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t recommend driving on them in anything but completely dry weather as they’re basically a road legal semi slick.

I tried the Nankang CR-S V2 to see if it’s any good. On the road, noise levels are good for this kind of tire, nothing to complain about. Also, driving normally, it handles rain without having issues. That being said, I don’t know if I can say that they handled my last trackday particularly well.

Once they are up to temp and I figured out the correct pressures, the balance was very neutral and it had immense amounts of grip. My laptimes were fast and consistent. So far, so good.

The day came to an early end though, due to a puncture on the front left tire. I am not sure what was the cause of this, but this is the only tire I ever had where it happened. Maybe it’s just really bad luck, but again, I’ve never had that happen with any other tire I used. Don’t mind the wear on the picture, the tire wore down badly because I did an entire (slow) lap on the flat tire when it happened, all the other tires showed no issues in terms of that.

Current tyre is a Nankang.

O meu carro tem 300cv e tenho esses nankang precisamente nesse modelo. Já vou no 2 par, antes tinha uns yokohama e também tive hankook e sinceramente a diferença é quase nula...

Dude, my set of nankang tires from week 44 2023, stored in a shipping container, are worse than this. Literally sidewall cracks all over. Tossed that shit out so fast...

Der einzige Reifen der mir mal bei 240kmh auf der Autobahn geplatzt ist war einer von Barum (wohl eine Tochtermarke von Continental) hatte damals der Vorbesitzer des Fahrzeuges gekauft und montiert
