Tires SUMITOMO or NANKANG

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.

I just put the conti viking contacts back on the s5 last week, and I need to get some winter tires for the sq5, I think I'm going with the sumitomo ice edge as we had them with the old a4 and they went through anything. I'll probably put them back on the s5 next year. We're in NH and go up north all lot for riding, plus we get decent snow and they're great for the $. Then it's wheel shopping for the sq5 for next year! It's so nice and easy to swap out winter/ summer wheels and tires.

I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2

It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.

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

CRS and AR1 are great track tyres and so use the AR1 myself.

However, what I think is their UHP road tyre, the NS2 is poor compared to Michelin/bridgestone/Continental offerings.

I’ve seen mixed reviews of them. With some saying they aren’t great in the wet(acceptable but lacking when compared to others), other saying they wear really quickly.

Cheapest brand I ever used was the Nankang NS-2, understeered everywhere and wore out in 2 years

Can't speak to an Elantra N, but on my GT86 they were very noisy and very uncomfortable.
