Honda Civic 1.4 100PS FK1 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Nankang Noble Sport NS20 given 82% (225-50-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3500 spirited miles
My previous tires were Federal Evoluzion ST-1 which were excellent sporty tires at a discount price. Unfortunately, the same tires were not in stock and the only tires at the same price point (almost 50% lower than premium brands) were the Nankangs. From previous reviews, these tires seemed to have improve their overall performance in recent years, and thus, I decided to take the risk and try them. After 5K km, I realize that these tires are excellent everyday tires with good dry and wet breaking, above average wet performance and top comfort. But when it comes to sporty performance, these tires have not enough stiff sidewall (even the extra load XL version I have) for hard cornering. Especially in my civic's stock setup, oversteer happens easily when cornering at high speeds which requires above average experience in handling. After testing different tire pressures trying to fix this problem, I think that with 40 psi in front and 36 psi in back tires, handling is much better and oversteer seems to be more fun than problem. In general, these Nankangs are 80% everyday - 20% sporty tires, focusing more on everyday comfort and safety and less on sporty performance.

Driving on mostly country roads for 13000 easy going miles
These tires are very good. They have covered 13000 miles now with 5mm of tread remaining. They are just as good, and are lasting just as long as my previous tires which were Bridgestone ER300 and Goodyear Efficient Performance. Both these tires returned 28000 miles on the front and 38000 miles on the rear of the car. Dry and wet grip was as I expected, noise and comfort also.

Writing about the Federal Evoluzion ST 1 given 87% (225-50-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 spirited miles
Following my initial 5K miles review, I have to say that these tires are an excellent choice at this price point, which is almost 50% lower than premium brands cost. After 30K miles, these tires perform still very well on dry with a notable drop in wet performance, but with easy-going driving, they can last for 5-10K miles more. The stiff sidewall (because of extra load) helps hard cornering without losing much comfort, the perfect balance between handling and comfort from my experience. In general, these tires have good breaking, comfort, and wear performance with focus on sporty driving at the expense of wet performance especially when they have not been warmed.

Writing about the Federal Evoluzion ST 1 given 81% (225-50-16-W)
Driving on mostly town for 5000 spirited miles
Nice sporty tire at a much lower price than premium brands. Excellent dry performance and nice cornering with the XL (extra load) Feds. Wet performance and wear seem OK for now but with low mileage. My previous tires were the excellent Falken ZE914, and now the Feds seem to have similar grip and cornering, a bit lower handling, but they are more comfortable and quite with better sporty look.

Writing about the Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun given 90% (225-50-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 37000 spirited miles
Back in 2013, I decided to try a set of 4 tires ZIEX914 225/50/16 W XL (extra load) for sporty driving. Very few reviews existed at that time but the price was much lower than premium brands. I replaced these tires after 6 years with 60,000 km and I can say for sure that these tires are excellent for sporty driving due to the combination of stiff sidewall and sticky rubber. With these tires I could easily find the limits of my civic when taking turns at high speed without losing steering control at all. The only downside of these tires is the absolute lack of comfort which can be a deal-breaker for relaxed-style drivers.

Now I have chosen Federal Evoluzion ST-1 because of discounted price and nice sporty performance.
In the short-run I am very satisfied but I have yet to discover their long-run performance.
I wish they keep up with the Falkens...
