Nankang SP-9 Cross-Sport all_ Season Radial Tire-175/65R15 88H

So today is 7/23/18. I put these tires on my Prius C3 on 6/9/18. So far, they've been about a thousand miles, and through some terrible rain storms. I was so hesitant to purchase these, because you get what you pay for, usually. But these tires have been SUCH a pleasant surprise!! The tread was great when they arrived (they ship loose, not in boxes...I dunno what I was expecting but that threw me off, lol), and it's continued to hold up. Paying for 4 of these and installation at a local place was still about $275 cheaper than paying for tires at retail. I've driven through several really awful rain/thunder storms with these, and at first I was driving so slow and hesitantly, but the most I drove, the more I realized I felt more steady with these tires than I did with my snows! They cut through water easily and I've yet to hydroplane (knock on wood). If you're thinking about these, I say go for it. Even if they only last you a couple of seasons, they're a great hold-over while you're saving for more expensive ones.

Great tires for the price. These tires are very cost effective for any commuter car. Traction has been very consistent in dry/wet/light snow conditions. Although, these tires are rated for mud and snow; look elsewhere for decent ice traction as these are no winter tire.These tires have been a very comfy ride and have dampened road noise compared to my old Dunlop’s. First time buyer of Nankangs and they sure do hold their own compared to various big name tire manufacturers.Buy these tires with confidence! Will post additional insight once I have reached the 30K mark.

I got my car in 2012, new. Tire replacements:-- 2012 (4 factory tires, Michelin or Yokohama I don't remember)-- 2016 (2 Nankangs)-- 2017 (2 Nankangs)-- 2019 (2 Nankangs, replacing the 2016 pair)All tires were replaced after they should have been (below thread wear mark) 2017 replacement was at completely bald.However, factory tires were properly rotated and maintained during warranty, while the Nankangs are under "rotate-never, check pressure if sensor complains maintenance schedule".This leads me to think that they last almost as long as much better tires. I can't tell if they drive / stop much worse, but my assumption is that they do. All in all, a good-enough product for the price that is almost lower than the installation cost.

It is working for now. I replaced both rear wheels when one got a flat. Currently running at 38 PSI50 Miles inPROS: *Price *Mounted/Balanced without problems (at American Tires) *More tread than anticipated and feels sturdyCONS: *I hear some noise when I have my window down and the sound can bounce of of something (the median of the road, other cars) that are right outside of my window. *Flashing on the inside of the tire. This should not affect anything but is just poor manufacturing/mold quality.

Best tires I have experience with. The way they hug the ground, I feel much safer in my small car. Good traction on snow for an all season tire. I used PepBoys to install. They did a great job. However, they are busy so I recommend to drop the vehicle off and pick it up when they call. Don't count on getting in and out. For the price and service quality it is worth the extra time it takes.

I ONLY bought these tires on Amazon because I was desperate and it was the holidays. My mechanic & I have been watching them since November 2019 when he put them on the car. He was leery about them; after all, he sells tires. I've had him rotate them every six months. Every six months he makes a note of the tread depth, etc.After 28,000 ish miles (low mileage thanks to COVID) they are just reaching their end-of-life tread. They won't be safe for another Maine winter. I only hear road noise now that the tread won't pass the coin test. They have held air very well. They even survived a side-swipe car crash. Overall, these tires (and yes! from Amazon!) have done well by me.

I bought this tire because of the price and excellent ratings here on Amazon. I did give it 5 stars because it looks like it would be a great tire to use on a car which is what it was designed for. It mounted up easier than most MC tires but unfortunately the sidewalls are too soft and even using lotsa lube and 120 to 130psi of pressure I couldn't get it to set the beads on my Magna due to sidewall flex.

10,000 miles so far. No bulging, fraying or otherwise. Wet grip is good and road noise isn't the worst I've had. Only downside is no roadside coverage.
