Tires Pirelli or NANKANG

I bought these a while ago basically to store my B5 on; they have seen the road for about 200kms back and forth to the paint shop. No scratches, bends, rash, nothing. The tires are Nankang 215/35s and have some camber wear but could easily be used for the remainder of this season and next season.

Finally got back to the car this weekend to have the tires switched out from the conti to pzero. Much happier with the Perilli. Can certainly tell the stiffer sidewall, feels like it did with my original oem tires.

Little bit too late, but i ma using the same tyre now. First impressions are really good, its quiet and comfort, acting well also. For that price i think you cant beat them with anything.

I have Verde's on my 14... ran terrific in snow and now in summer, grip excellent. I love them!

I had them on my old B5 A4 and liked them very much. Didn't get great mileage out of them. But they handled very nice. I have a 2012 SEL and don't much care for the Pirelli tires on it now. Yes, they are only 50% at 21500 miles. which is good. But in the rain I think they get very slick. Don't have the confidence for spirited driving when wet out. Which the DWS's work well in.

I had NS-2's and loved them.

So far so good. I've put close to 500 miles on them they seem to be really quiet, and handle well in the rain. They stretch well, ride quietly, and they are cheap so I have no complaints.

yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.

My nankangs stretched pretty well. However, They suck in the rain. Like, scary bad. But you can do crazy burn-outs, because they don't grip for sh!t. You get what you pay for, in this case unfortunately.

I had my Pirelli PZeroNero's for 20k miles. They got extremely noisy for one, and also the steering wheel started to shimmy on the highway over 65mph. I just had Mic Pilot Super Sports installed and the shimmy is still there.
