Nankang Tyres
Nankang is a 60 year old Taiwanese company that has created innovative and well-reviewed tyre products available all over the world.

Nankang, however, is not just concerned with offering value for money. Safety is prioritised as Nankang regularly studies the performance of each tyre under a variety of critical situations and driving conditions, including sudden stops, unexpected swerving and road obstacles. Nankang, in many ways, is the most pragmatic of the tyre brands. Nope, you won’t confuse them with Pirelli, Michelin and others, but they have stepped up their game, particularly in the product development and quality assurance areas and has slowly become a brand to consider for budget minded drivers looking to get the most tire for the dollar. Nankang offers SUV, 4x4, light truck tyres designed for all terrain and all weather performance.

Quick Conclusion
So to summarise, both Michelin and Nankang have produced some of the most well reviewed tyres in the world, and any of their everyday use models would be the ideal choice for family and even company cars. However, the main difference here would be in performance levels. Michelin's track record for superior handling, increased mileage and tyre durability is hard to beat. With Michelin, you'll get tyres that will keep your car safe, save money, and get you around in comfort. They may not be the cheapest brand, but you get what you pay for. Nankang may be a much more affordable option price wise, but their tyres are functional, safe, well reviewed, and have aggressive tread designs that make your car look good. We suggest comparing specific Michelin models to their closest Nankang counterparts to help make your choice. Both brand's extensive catalogue of tyres, complete with tech specs and even reviews, are available on Tyroola.
