Nissan Pulsar Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Nankang N 729 given 59% (205-60-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 easy going miles
The tire is a budget tire, so you can't expect high end performance. That said, there are budget tires that will outperform these. In dry they are not much different to other tires, but in the WET is a different story. Brand new and if your corner was a bit sharp, the car would slide slightly at speeds around 40-50 km/h. Sometimes heavier braking would have my ABS kicking in. As they AGE by a couple years or the tread starts wearing, it gets worse, especially on roads where the asphalt is glass smooth or if you have the unfortunate areas that have diesel spilling.

For many who may not be as adept to driving as say, enthusiasts to safely react to the situation, this could be a real problem.

For this reason I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, nor the XR611 which is not even as good as the N729.

Writing about the Nexen N Blue HD Plus given 70% (205-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 easy going miles
On my Nissan, it came with Continentals when new so it always had very good grip. After one of the services, the dealer had to replace the tires and they only had the Nexen, so we had no choice. These tires are comfortable as the sidewalls appear to be soft. Dry grip is ok. But I go easy in the wet as they are not good with aquaplaning performance. However, knowing that they are made in Korea made me feel fine having them. Korean tire manufacturers are generally competent.

Driving on mostly country roads for 5 average miles
Just done a test drive with them after fitting. I am quite impressed by the dry grip. A bit bumpy compared to the old tires but the new ones are a higher load rating which probably explains that. Will do another review on them mid winter when I’ve had them longer.

Writing about the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 given 83% (195-60-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 easy going miles
Disagree with the reviews criticising the grip in snow. Yes - you have to drive to suit the road conditions, but so far, these tires haven't let me down. Considering they are 'all-season', to find a hybrid tire that will handle all conditions is rare. I've used Michelin Cross-Climate previously and the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 tires are at least on a par. Drove through heavy snow (yes-to the conditions) and felt the grip was good. Same goes for wet and dry conditions. Haven't had the tires long enough to assess wear rate, but as a tire with a good all round performance so far - no complaints.

Writing about the Nankang NS2 given 59% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
I been using the nankang ns2 tire for a couple of years, the noise of the tire is terrible rating it from 1 to 10 I would say it’s 9 it’s too loud. The braking in summer time is good it also grip well in the corner. The braking in rainy and wet season is average I don’t push it too hard. The comfort is 1 out of 10 is only 1 the tire itself is harf with a 400 tread wear. If you have a budget get some nice tire, but if the noise is not your concern it is a good choice.

Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 spirited miles
Update for my pulsar n15 sss. Never regret buying one of these, the car never over or understeer. With 85kw atw, the tires last 7000 km for the front tires. Already brought the tires for my next car/daily. It has been a lot of fun with my pulsar.

Brought for daily use. Feel fantastic, attack mode all the time. Unfortunately, the tires will only last 5000 km average for daily use (including 1 to 2 track days), and the compound start cracking after one month of use. I live in the hills FYI. Definitely will buy again for daily and track use.

Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
I bought these as a quick cheap stopgap for winter steelies on a newer car. The main use of these will be simply as commute tires. Maybe 2000ml a year for 4-5 month to avoid scrubbing summer alloys and better traction in the very low temps.
I can't vouch much for wet grip or grip overall as the car is very uninspiring and feels very floaty especially at motorway speeds compared to Contisport 5s.
The car has a great traction control system on summer tires anyway but getting to work was never an issue and didn't really feel like it would be.
I just do not like the feel when driving. I have never pushed the car hard on these tires for work of not being able to read them unlike summers.
I would not recommend these and would not buy again but feel they are still advantageous on slow city commutes and inclines compared to summers.
These are quiet on the roads.
No confidence when the car had 4 adults on motorway/A-list Roads today but it was very mild around 9'c.

Writing about the Nankang Sportnex AS2 Plus given 83% (205-50-17-V)
Driving on for 8000 miles
Bought these to replace Continental Sport Contact 5s and they are a much better tire all round, Dry grip is improved around bends although setting off quickly they aren't as good but its not night and day. Wet grip is greatly improved over the conti's I feel confident going into bends knowing the tire will go where I want it to. In terms of wear I have done 8k on them so far the fronts have 4.8mm and the rears are on 6.2mm so I think they are wearing quite well. I would purchase again or an equivalent all season tire from Nankang.

Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
Came fitted to new Nissan Pulsar. They were fine in the dry and wet braking was OK but wet cornering was dreadful with a tendency to simply break traction and slide. Also they needed changing after only 8000 miles when I used to get 20000 on my heavy old diesel Mondeo. Not all tires are equal, it seems.
