Comment:
i have sworn by the nankang brand for many years we previously had the sv2 tread pattern on this vehicle (for two harsh winters) which has since been discontinued these would go anywhere in any weather with great stopping capabilities, however changing to the sv3 very disappointed grip is poor in wet, snow and ice and braking is even worse, removed these tyres before they were 50% worn and scrapped them and went for an alternative brand which has since rectifed all the problems we had been experiencing in poor weather
