They grip well in dry conditions, on wet surfaces they let them down very little compared to more expensive tires, but for the money there are no better tires. I would recommend them 100% if you're on a budget, though Thet are better than some premium tires such as Pirelli P6000 and Goodyear NCT5

Very good tires for the money, loses a bit on wet road surface compared to more expensive brands, but overall highly recommended. Tires are very quiet inside and outside, although traction on snow leaves much to be desired. This, however, is a summer tire, if you want to ride on snow buy a winter tire. It also appears to wear very well. Chinese tires are usually not any good, but this is an exception.

They are used on two cars. Good inexpensive tire. Good traction on dry, but I'm usually a bit more cautious on wet roads. Gives you enough warning Tho, before it starts to slip. Wears in order. I would recommend if you're looking for a good budget tire that will perform up to a point. Bridgestones are not the same, but for the price, you won't find much better.

Dry traction is very good. On wet pavement they are not suitable. I think they scrape for grip under even moderate acceleration. They also slide in turns on wet roads. For the money they are a good buy, but there are far better tires available if you can afford them (Continentials for one).

I've traded in the car, but I was very pleased with the Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II on this vehicle. Even with a lot of power, you had to make an effort to make the rear wheels spin and lose traction. A completely different story from the worn-out Falken FK451s I replaced them from. Very good value for money compared to other cheap tires.

Not a large wheel. It grips well in the dry, quiet and wears best, but not very good in the wet. Of course, if you're coming from worn-out tires to these, they will feel better, though. For a cheap Chinese tire, they're good.

Fitted to my car with a very stiff structure it was very bad almost succeeded. On dry the tires are normal, you have to warm them up and are good only when they are new. After 5000 km you will see the thread step and wear is felt, especially on the edges. In the center it remains unchanged. On wet I would say, bad: it suffers very aquaplaning, despite the beautiful design which instead of being misleading. On the highway it suffers from long

It's really a good value for the price of the tires. As a rating the tire is just a comparison to other brands, I've tried the most and it seems I won't get more for the extra cost. These tires are great. I'm on my third set now. I get about 20,000 km out of the front set, 30,000 km out of the rear set.

I actually purchased 5 rear tires. The first set wore out at 15K miles. I purchased a second set and one blew out in the first week with less than 500 miles. I had to replace it with another tire. I like these tires (value and rating, since I'm not a speed demon) I hope you can work with the mfg'er to improve the quality
