Nankang Snow Viva 2 215/40 R17 87 V XL

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. Read more Collapse

As I said, a great price and a great tyre, and great value-for-money, not only for winter tyres. Last summer I bought the Oponeo Nankang Snow Viva 2 and I am pleased with those. I had little to do with this brand. I am very happy I picked that brand. The next choice is probably the Nankang Snow Viva 2. Again, I will buy those from Oponeo. In addition I have to pay attention to the professional and friendly customer service at Oponeo. Although the purchase of winter tyres in the summer is unusual kind of service, the gentleman caller checked their availability for me. In addition, he assured me that they will send the tyres as soon as they will have them in stock! It's a very big plus, I might add that other traders do not have such an approach. I have checked it personally. Therefore thank you again for tyres! Read more Collapse

I use these tyres for about half a year. I bought them last winter and I didn't change them for the spring or summer time. I drove approx. 7km on them. I am very positively surprised. Previously I had Michelin. After the change, first thing I have noticed was the difference in the noise level. Nankang Snow Viva 2 are extremely quiet and they look good! Once I drove to the mountains. I have no problems with driveways, moving off or braking. As a rule, I do not change the tyres for summer or winter tyres. All year I use only winter tyres and frankly said I do not see much difference! nor any excessive abrasion or extra noise. For the second car I will purchase the same ! I would recommend Nankang Snow Viva 2 for everyday driving. We'll see how they will perform after a few years? Read more Collapse

if you do not want to overpay for "brand" tyres then buy nankang snow viva 2, I have two sets, summer/winter and I cannot say a bad word about them, they have proven themselves in all conditions. In the dry they are ok, but in wet snow, slush they have performed very well. Besides it is really quiet (certainly quieter than normal), so dilemmas aside, the tire has sold in the west and your order gets distributed from a reliable warehouse in Germany, so really there is nothing to be afraid about. Just be glad that Nankang Viva Snow 2 are available on the market at a good price Read more Collapse

The tire is very cheap, so there is nothing to complain about, but I was expecting a bit more. On dry surface tyre is really cool, the tyres cope with wet surface very well. When the snow appears, or God forbid ice, you will find the explain for a low price. If I lived in southern Europe, probably I would be happy. I bought it for occasional trips, because it’s not really a winter tyre for me, but it turns out that I could save money and use the sommer ones. I would like to add only at the end, that my size is 225/45 R17. Perhaps the narrower tread perform better. Read more Collapse
