Die neuesten Fahrerbewertungen von diesem Auto, in ihren eigenen Worten.
Die Reifen wurden auf meinem Jaguar XK8 montiert, als ich ihn kaufte.
Sie sind absolut schrecklich. Sie geben überhaupt kein Vertrauen in Abwechslung. Fahren bei Nässe ist wie Fahren im Schnee. Die Lenkung fühlt sich vage an.
Diese Reifen sind möglicherweise für das Fahren in der Stadt in Ordnung, aber nicht sicher, ob sie den Abstand überschreiten.
Ich hatte sie für 3 Monate und tauschte sie gegen Pirelli P Zeros. Der Unterschied ist atemberaubend.
Kaufen Sie Nankang NS20 niemals für ein Performance-Auto. Die sind Gefährlich.
Rossos wurden an meinem XK8 montiert, als ich ihn vor 6 oder 7 Jahren aus zweiter Hand kaufte, mit ungleichmäßiger Abnutzung. Da ich das Auto nur im Sommer fahre, habe ich beschlossen, die Reifen nur zu wechseln, wenn sich jeder der gesetzlichen Grenzwerte nähert mit den Rossos. Mein Gesamteindruck ist ziemlich gut, mit anständigem Grip und Gefühl, obwohl jeder, der einen XK8 gefahren ist, weiß, dass das Lenkgefühl, obwohl er hervorragend fährt, kein starker Anzug ist, unabhängig von der Art des verwendeten Reifens!
Meine einzige leichte Beschwerde ist der hohe Straßenlärm, der in einem so leisen Auto wie einem XK8 etwas nervig werden kann. Wenn ich jemals beide Reifen an derselben Achse ersetzen müsste, würde ich mich wahrscheinlich für eine Goodyear-, Dunlop- oder sogar eine Avon-Alternative entscheiden.
These were fitted to a jaguar xk 4.2l and are the jaguar recommended tyre. Overall comfort, noise level and grip were good but the most significant failing was on wear. They only lasted 6,000 miles before they were below the legal limit. This was after normal usage and mainly motorway travel. I am not a boy racer (I am over 60) or a top gear presenter.
I sent them back to dunlop who tested them and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the rubber compound and that they appeared to show normal signs of wear. i.e. not under inflated or tracking out (this had been done when the tyres were fitted) or excessive driving.
Therefore, I am left with the conclusion that this is the expected mileage to get out if these tyres. I have now changed to Pirelli.
Replacing worn P Zeros these were much softer, quieter and more road friendly. About the same for dry grip but much better in the wet. Higher confidence feel. Everything I was looking for. Good wear rate too.
HOWEVER after 10,000 m with 6-7 mm of tread left they now track terribly and wander all over the road requiring constant steering corrections.
All geometries checked ok plus played a little with revised tyre pressures but to no avail.

Very good tyre in my opinion.
The wet grip is not brilliant but is certainly not as bad as other budget tyres I have used in the past.
Very good value for money!
Worst and most dangerous tyres I have ever fitted, and one ruptured it's casing on a very small pothole. In one word? Rubbish
I have a Jaguar XK8 4.2 and did some research into these tyres. I'm really glad I did! Once you've taken off the slippery film protecting the tyres for storage (I just turned off the traction control and did a wheel spin which did the trick) the grip was excellent. I live 100 miles from my office which is a combination of motorways and back roads so they have to cope with a lot of different road surfaces and conditions. I've only done approx 1000 miles so far, but in that time they've been in all conditions from torrential rain to lovely dry roads. Even under heavy acceleration on wet B roads in poor condition they still remained in control providing feedback. Even with the traction control off they inspire confidence and you can feel when they are about to break away. I chose these as in the past on previous cars I used the GoodYear Eagle F1 GS-D3 which was fantastic and this tyre having a similar treat pattern I thought would be good in the wet. From what I've seen so far this is definitely the case. The most impressive thing is these tyres fitted were only £150 each compared to up to £300 for other premium brands. I'm really struggling to see the reason for paying the extra. Fantastic road holding, excellent water clearance which is important for a wide low profile tyre and quiet at high motorway speeds. I have Michelin Pilots on the front, when these are worn I'll be replacing them with Maxxis'. Excellent value for money and I believe there is also newer version out called “MA Z1 Drift†which are even better.
Replaced the original Pirellis with Goddyears and wear, grip are both much better. Pity I cannot get the same tyre for the front now
Grip is good enough but wear not so good. I will probably try Dunlop Sport Maxx TT or Goodyear F1 Asymetric next time
