Nankang Snow SV-2 - First Impressions
ub7rm:
I turn ESP off when starting off in the snow but turn it back on as soon as I get moving again.

I think i'll be getting a set of winter tyres, got a spare set of wheels lying around so it makes sense.

Hi all, as I've now taken these off the car I thought it might be appropriate to conclude my review.
It was always my intention to keep these tyres on the car for 4 months. In retrospect I would probably have put them on earlier, and taken them off sooner, however the weather is impossible to foresee and the snow that we had over Christmas and into the New Year didn't reappear like many predicted.
My initial first impressions hold true, these tyres are simply awesome in snow, however when the weather turned wet and the roads greasy I became a little concerned that these tyres broke traction too easily. Fortunately these worries were short-lived. I can only put it down to the tyres scrubbing in, because I have had not one similar issue in any sort of road condition. They grip very well regardless of road surface. Now temperatures have risen the only noticeable difference is the nose pushing slightly wider when attacking a corner.
Wear on the tyres is negligible too - in fact it's difficult to tell if they've worn at all. I think I'll certainly get 4 or more years use out of them, so in that respect they represent very good value for money.

Been driving in Germany for years with winter tyres - makes a world of difference.
Even big expensive cars use steel wheels for them to avoid corrosion problems.
As for summer tyres, you get what you pay for.

Better be good - I've just ordered a set for both my own car and the wife's. Getting ready early this year ...
