215/45 13 Tire Review Highlights

Nankang AS1 rated 93% while driving a Rover Mini
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
I drive a classic mini and normally run Yoko A539's but was urgently in need of two tires to get through a MOT. With budget in mind, I tentatively purchased two AS1's @ £31 a tire delivered (a little over the cost of 1 Yoko), result! Now I normally drive quite spiritedly ;-) but was initially cautious with these tires. My first outing was on a 200+ mile club run along many B roads. Starting out, I soon realised these tires were a lot more capable than I thought. In fact, I would say they are equally as good as the Yoko's. Road feedback is good, there's a little sliding around corners (when I'm really harsh) but it adds to the fun and they've never let go. Wet driving requires a little more attention but none less than the Yoko's ever needed. I'm no longer a brand snob and I am no a brand advocate for the AS1's in a 13". Will buy again! :-)
