By far the worst tyres I’ve ever experienced. The wet grip is appalling, you’d be safer bouncing down the back roads on a space hopper. Do yourself a favour and spend a few pound more. They came fitted to my car when I bought it having been on for less than 50 miles. Can’t wait to change them.

These tyres came on my car when i bought it. I actually quite enjoy them in dry conditions and in the wet too. You just have to make sure that you're careful about your driving becouse they grip well on dry surfaces but in the wet it can be scary. It's very easy to lock up your wheels when braking in the wet and when turning you can feel them start losing grip, but it was pretty fun on my gutless mk2 golf. On hillstarts i could spin wheels all day long. Sometimes even in second gear. The wear was pretty great too. They where used for one season already when i bought them and now it's my third season on them. There's still quite a lot of life left in them.

Impressive for the price on thread longevity. Comfortable. On wet road do not push it. Been happy to drive with these Chinese tires.

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen VW Passat g60 Syncro (225/50 R15) on mostly country roads for 15,000 average miles
225 50 r15 size
The best dry braking tire according to "Auto Bild" and "Tyre Reviews" tests! They grade it as a summer tire but it is a M+S tire, (in some sizes at least), make it much harder to beat Michelins, Condinentals, Pirellis and other premium tires. As for wet braking is good too, never had the feeling of slipage at various speeds. The ABS/EDL works rarely. This perfect behavior may be accompanied by the AWD Syncro system my car has.
I am never traveling with more than 200 km/h! Up to this speed the car is perfectly stable and it is not affected by winds.
The funny think is that on snow it gives enough traction to climb, easily, snowed roads with a 30°- 40° inclination. Not tested on ice, though, I haven't the opportunity. It works perfectly off road, too, @ 35-40 psi. Not tested on sand!

We don't recall a test where this Nankang tyre was the best in braking, looking at the link it seems you're trying to cross reference tests which is sadly not possible due to differing conditions.

Not to happy with the tyre as they only covered 5000miles and the front two are nearly bald on the outer edge and some serious cracking on the outer edge. Went back to the garage I got them from to be told nothing they can do they checked my tracking which was all good. I wouldn’t recommend these tyre to my worst enemy unfortunately.

have them on rear but have rear wheel drive car. in scotland avarage temeperature 10-15 C, quite often wet.
On wet car slips and dont grip again just drifts away until turn 180 degrees, yes been on the edge of dying. If you are in rainy cold climat forget it. you may die.
on dry sunny day they behave ok like an average tyre and last long
