Comment:
This tyre has fairly good if not exceptional dry grip, but the hard rubber compound means that wet grip can let the tyre down, although They are better than most tyres of similar price. Tyre is quiet and comfortable but seem to wear quite quickly. Ok as a Budget tyre, but as a performance tyre they are not so hot.

Comment:
Grip is fairly good in the dry, although nothing exceptional. In the wet however grip is very poor. The car scrabbles like a dog on a wet lino when pulling away. They also apear to wear quite quickly. Cheap to buy initially but not good value if you consider the performance and wear rate.

Ok in the dry, not so great in the wet. Better than most budget tyres though. Not a patch on more expensive tyres performance or longevity wise.

Comment:
Good grip in dry conditions when accellarating or fast corners. In the wet it has ofcourse less grip but compared to the old Wanli S1099 it has more grip. For dry conditions a good budget tyre, but.... because of taking fast corners one of my tires (front left) started to shred in the wall of the tyre. Allthough the good grip no Nankangs for me anymore.
