Tires NANKANG or KENDA

So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.

The KRads are so fucking good. Kinda heavy but they last forever.

Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.

Kenda AT2 if you plan to off-road and daily drive, RTs if you are wheeling a lot. Made in Ohio, way cheaper, better performance then Goodyear's.

Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.

I just installed a set of Kenda 33x10.5r17's and have been very impressed by them. They were cheap to buy, run quiet on the highway, look good, and most importantly did great in the mud this weekend. 10/10 would buy again...

I've had NS-II on my car for the past 4 years. For daily driving these tires will do just fine. Wet grip is alright and they're not terribly loud. They don't compare to Michelin Pilot Sport tires I ran before but they also don't cost anything close to Michelins.

Have a buddy that owns a tire shop and ran these for a a few years to put his money where his mouth was since he was recommending them to his customers. He said they were no Michelins, but were well worth the price. Seemed to hold up pretty well and his only real complaint was noise. Moreso as they got on in age, but otherwise, he thought they were better than decent. :thumbup:

I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.

F'ing terrible compared to a reputable summer tire IMO.
