Tires NANKANG or WEST LAKE

They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.

Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.

Nankang NS-20, super easy to stretch and had no problems with them. also quite cheap (for the size i got them in)

I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.

They were awesome and very, very grippy when thick (and warmed up). But once you wear half of the thread, the grip changes considerably. And it becomes dangerous below that.

Tried westlake once, good first couple of months, by the end of the first year the wet grip degraded a fair bit.

I have nankang econex on my 2006 twingo. But since i barely drive it, it's just fine.

The a while they had an issue with tread separation. Ton of them got recalled. They’ve been fine since but reputation is tainted. Ran a set years ago. They didn’t separate on me but they were built thin so potholes and the sight of nails would puncture them.

You got majorly scammed. These are trash china westlake tires. They are poor braking, poor handling tires.

Westlakes are garbage.
