Tires NANKANG or Vredestein

Switched to Vredestein on my City ZX21 earlier this year. Wondering why I did not do it earlier!

Just got new tires, upgraded from stock Apollo Alnac 4G to Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, the difference is night and day

We went to an 18” square setup with Vredestein Wintrac Pros and it’s about as good in snow as her previous ‘16 IS300 F Sport AWD

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 just put on a set of Nankang Greensport Eco Plus 165/60R12. Reviews seem to be all over the place but I've been happy with them so far, including in some recent rain. My area doesn't get snow at all so I can't comment on that.

I've been buying my nankang tires directly from the EU branch: https://www.nankang.eu/ Fast shipping.

Anyway, for what it is worth, I tried the 275/35ZR-21 Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ XL both on and off track earlier this year. It is still a summer performance tire. Off track, I was seeing slightly improved efficiency over the factory P Zero, but the Ultras were slightly noisy on rougher roads (no foam inserts); on the track, for the first couple of laps, they were decent (plenty good enough for spirited driving), but driving to the max lap after lap they got squirrely and very vocal.

Vredestein Quattrac Pros were decent but about 30k miles it looks like. The Vredies I have had a sidewall issue on one. They are well rated bit want more durability.

Eu tive Nankang e não recomendo, posso ter tido azar, sei...

Estavam no eixo traseiro comecaram a surgir fissuras entre os sulcos do rasto

Just stay away from nankang. I’ve had nothing but issues with them
