Nankang 205/70 r14 - any experience?

[Vanda]

Hi - quick question about tyres. Has anybody used nankang tyres, I'm reading mixed reviews? I urgently need some 205/70 r14s this week, I can definitely get nankangs, might be able to get semperits, which I've got at the moment, but need them by Wednesday so it's pretty touch and go!

Whilst reading about tyres on here, came across some sage advice about sorting out your next set before you actually need them, a lesson I'm now learning the hard way!

Not specifically 205/70 14 but 185 14 Nankangs are crap in the wet,very sudden lose of grip.

Thanks bigherb. That's what I'd seen on the negative reviews, but just wanted to check here too. Think I will leave them and definitely go with the Semperit then.

I've recently had some Nexen's fitted, so far I'm very pleased

Thanks trucker. Will have a look at the nexens too, was looking on Oponeo and they have got them. Their website says the tyres are for cars, but it the load rating is right, they should be good for T25s, shouldn't they??

I have nexen roadian 205 70 14c rated 100 or 102. I find them great. No problems. Not overly noisy and grip seems good. Took me over the Pyrenees in a fully laden Westy.
