As for Asian product (not Chinese) very good tyres. Successfully can be categorized into the middle class (they are in the budget). Quiet enough, good grip but I belive that the driver’s consideration during the winter time is more important than a really good winter tyres ... Previously I had Dunlop and now I feel more comfortabel (they are new at the moment).

Tires judge to assess good. Very good job in August in the snow, but when driving in dry conditions worse. As for the price to quality then I would recommend the tires.

Bought these tyres for commuting to work. So far they seem fine; we've had a couple of reasonable snow falls over winter and they've kept me going.

Good rubber, value for money great. It could be a bit quieter.

I have used nankang snow viva 2 for the second winter season on my Skoda Superb 2 (170HP 2.0TDI DSG). These are very good winter tyres for the money I have paid. I have used those tyres in low as well as high snow, slush and during the rain. They excel on dry roads, and I would suggest they underperform in the wet, as with each winter tyre (as we know, winter tyres do not like rain). I drove about 10 thousand kms on these tyres. I went to Slovakia in the mountains where lorries rolled into the drifts in blizzards and Nankang's performed. I was very pleased with the quality of nankang snow viva 2. From what I noticed you can use these tyres for years. I think they are perfect for 3, maybe 4 seasons at max. I would recommend them to someone who drives a lot in winter time and cares about the whole performance and safety. That is why the tyre provides sufficient grip, precise control and protection against aquaplaning in the winter conditions.

By purchasing these tyres I was wondering if Nankang Snow Viva 2 was a good choice. After driving a few thousand miles on pure asphalt and snow, I can say that my fears were unfounded. The tyres are firstly quieter than the summer Goodyears. They perfectly hold both on asphalt and snow. Of course, in heavy snow starting and braking sometimes is difficult but it is normal situation. For me it is natural in those conditions. In conclusion, I sincerely recommend Nankang Snow Viva 2 to everyone. These tyres are brilliant! You can buy them without any worries.

Due to the low profile, three of four purchased tires shot for me after 4 months after hitting the holes.
