Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
45/100From 3 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
35/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 3 owner reviews found online.
Reviewers, almost entirely UK-based drivers of small and mid-size cars, view the Nankang Green Sport Eco 2+ as a good-value, well-rounded budget tyre. Wet grip, quiet running and everyday confidence are praised most often, and several owners say it matches or beats pricier brands such as Kumho, Nexen, Falken, Dunlop and Continental. Complaints are few: one user gave a very low score, and a handful reported quick wear, a puncture or damage, or reduced grip on greasy roads.
Pros
- Strong wet-weather grip and resistance to aquaplaning, often mentioned in heavy rain, Scottish and French storms, and in comparison with Kumho and previous tyres
- Good all-round, predictable grip and handling in dry, wet and cold conditions, with owners describing confident cornering, braking and road holding
- Quiet and comfortable ride, with several reviewers saying it is quieter than their previous tyres
- Excellent value for money, with several reviewers saying it performs like pricier or OE-fit tyres at a lower price
- Generally good tread life and wear, with several owners saying it lasts longer than past Falken, Dunlop, Michelin, Kumho or Nexen tyres, and 8k-mile and 8-month reports showing little wear
Cons
- Some reviewers reported faster-than-expected wear, with one describing the tyre as very soft and another needing to replace the fronts early
- Initial road noise was louder than the outgoing tyres for several owners, though they said it eased as the tyres bedded in
- Limited grip on greasy or damp-slick roads, with wheel spin when pulling out of junctions
- A few isolated quality or durability issues, including a rear tyre that kept losing air, a tyre destroyed by a pothole and a slight lightening of the steering feel after fitting
- Some reviewers could not yet judge winter or snow performance or long-term wear, so those areas are not well covered
Worth knowing
- Most reviews come from owners of small, lightly loaded cars, including the Citroën C1, Toyota Aygo, Hyundai Tucson and classic Mini, who describe the tyre as fully adequate for everyday and local use, with low-mileage Mini owners rating it similar to Yokohama at a lower price
- One owner of a heavily loaded Transit van with a water tank over the front axle reported better wear than with Michelin or Kumho
- The one size mentioned, 205/45 (on a small, inexpensive car), drew a comment that the tyre felt pricey for the size but was still hard to undercut with good reviews; most reviews gave no size or vehicle
