Tires Nokia or NANKANG

I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.

I’ve used Nankang plenty of times on my older cars, they were fine. Drove fine in wet, drove fine in dry, no louder than any other tires.

I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.

I think it really depends on the car. A fresh set of 13” AR-1 will last 2000-3000km on track on my dad’s Caterham.

The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.

I used to like Blizzaks, then I tried the Nokian Hakkapeliittas and found they worked better for me in Wisconsin winters.

I had the Nokian all-season snow rated tires years ago on my Subaru STi, in the midwest, as my winter tire and loved them. They were not as soft as snow tires and performed very well in frigid temps on dry and wet surface, with the occasional heavy snow.

I ran Ns2R on my R32 for a couple years and have no complaints.

I have the same Nokians... Let me tell you something, it does have great grip in winter but it's sooo noisy and it's uncomfortable. When I came back to the default Nexen tires it was like I turned the volume nob to zero. Complet silence abd I felt like I was floating.

I had the exact same problem on Nokian tires that were less 3000 miles and under 3 years old. Had the orginal paperwork ftom the previous owner of the vehicle.
