Nankang vs Dunlop:
A Tyre Brand Comparison

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 wont 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.

Dunlop Tyres

Tyroola and well the entire tyre manufacturing industry - might not exist at all if it wasn't for John Dunlop putting a rubber sheet on his son's metal bicycle wheel to give him a smoother ride - back in 1887. The wheels of fortune have not stopped since for Dunlop Tyres. They have been major players in almost all motorsports leagues since 1902, dominating Le Mans and F1 throughout time, breaking many land speed records and introducing new technology that has kept the industry moving forward in the future. Their vast motorsport experience, along with fully integrating into the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company 20 years ago has enabled Dunlop to produce an entire catalogue of tyre products for drivers of all types of driving conditions. Their patented Multi-Radius Tread Technology evenly distributes pressure to improve cornering, overall handling and braking. Dunlops are also laced with DuPont Kevlar, helping to create stronger sidewalls and making each tyre that much more durable, making it a smart choice for those who don't want the stress of frequent tyre replacements.
