Nankang Tyres
Nankang is a 60 year old Taiwanese company that has created innovative and well-reviewed tyre products available all over the world. Their tyres are designed to be resistant to high heat, have outstanding road grip and look good as well while being widely available at affordable prices. 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. They also produce the driver favourite Nankang AS 1 line of ultra-high performance touring tyres for passenger cars, which are either attuned for all-season driving or perfected for performance on dry pavement. Available on Tyroola, the cornering grip, straight line acceleration, traction, handling as well as the durability of the AS-1 has received positive feedback from customers.

Mastercraft Tyres
The Mastercraft brand of tyres, founded in 1909, is a subsidiary of the American giant Cooper Tyre and Rubber Company, which also owns other popular brands such as Roadmaster, and Avon Tyres. They are known for extraordinarily durable yet affordable tyres favoured by the long distance travelling American driving market. Budget-savvy Australians looking for new tyres will surely find a Mastercraft model perfect for them since they make them for passenger cars, light truck, SUV, winter tyres and more. Mastercraft's strength lies in tyres that have a firm grip and consistent traction until it's time time to replace them, which might take a while since these tyres REALLY last a long time. Their tyres use a special tread compound, making it extremely flexible at high temperatures while preventing minor wear and tear. Design details like asymmetrical patterns on rigid treads for dry roads or treads with grooves and edges to combat hydroplaning and handle snow, give you superior handling. Available on Tyroola is the Mastercraft Courser AXT All Terrain Tyre which delivers a stable and balanced ride due to its 5-rib tread design, wide circumferential grooves and aggressive shoulder design.
