Tyre reviews Nankang SV1 2274

Acquired to have a friend drive 350z through the winter months. I couldn't live with the additional traction these tires have over summer tires on snow being this good. They also have excellent traction on wet roads. Removed tires in the spring with very minimal wear.

Very good money / Tread life index, but one thing. The tire had a manufacturing defect at 3000 km and Dunlop refused to replace it, even though it was obvious. That is why I will be looking at my next choice more closely. Rubber belt wear 1 mm / 10,000 km. Average tread life 40,000 - 50,000 km under moderate to high usage.

Good tires. Does not like very wet roads. Tends to turn its share on roundabouts. Tire wear should be better for the grip you get. Nevertheless, much better than most.

It was not clearly stated on the website that these were winter tyres.... they stated that they were Winter Tyres which in the UK rarely means snow!! I thought they would be designed for rain and wet conditions

Terrible tire. Does not grip on wet roads and does not provide confidence. Noisy, not good rolling resistance and very disappointing from the Bridgestone brand. With 4 mm still left they have changed. Yokohama / Michelin / Uniroyal all make better tires than this.

Good tires, good grip in cold British winter (at -10°C), at temperatures above -10°C they are not as good in terms of road grip. They handle small British potholes very well. Overall, good tire value that can last me at least 3 years of use during winter.

They have great traction on wet and cold surfaces, but actually show their mettle in snow at high elevations. Paired with Subaru's AWD system I barely even noticed I was driving on snow.

I installed the tires two years ago and used them on the vehicle for two winters and two summers. The tire wear was very low and much better than the Continental Sport Contact 2 the vehicle came with initially. The tires lasted 40% more miles. Now the summer set is on, but will definitely fit the SV1 for winter this year.

I use these tires year round and this is my second set I've used, I bought them for their snow stability during winter when I go skiing in Austria, they have never let me down. For an all year round tire with a snow rating they are excellent.

Not a very good tire, very nervous in wet conditions, grip is scary. Awful grip on snow and slush. Respectable on dry asphalt, not too good on wet asphalt. No feedback from the tire when limits are pushed.
