NANKANG TIRES | TIRE BUYING GUIDE
Nankang Tires is based in Taipei, Taiwan, and marketed in North America through Tireco, a company based in California. They make a variety of budget tires in a variety of categories, and have been doing so since the 1940s. Nankang Tires are average tires for budget-minded consumers — which is most of us! The company is the largest tire manufacturer in Taiwan, and they’ve positioned themselves as a budget brand.
Nankang Tire Categories
Nankang offers tires in these categories: all-season, touring all season, all terrain/all season, performance all season and performance summer. If you are looking for a cheaper tire, Nankang is worth consideration, especially in the performance categories, which tend to wear quicker than other types of tires.
Compare Nankang tires against similar tires in all categories for treadwear. Keep in mind that (a) treadwear is self-reported by manufacturers and (b) treadwear is only one factor you should consider when buying tires. Learn more about these UTQG ratings. Nankang tires tend to score lower than average in all categories except their summer performance tires. That doesn’t mean it is a low-quality tire; it simply means that when compared to other tires in the same category, the tread is expected to wear sooner and faster, depending on your driving style, road conditions and vehicle. You should also look at wet-dry braking, road noise, user reviews and warranties when considering which tires to buy.
