Nankang Cross Sport SP 9 Owner Reviews
Review this tyreWhat owners say summarised from 6 reviews
The Nankang Cross Sport SP 9 receives generally favourable owner feedback for dry grip, with some praise for comfort, low noise and wet grip across six reviews. Four reviews are positive and two neutral, averaging 77%. Tread life is more often praised than criticised in sustained use, three accounts to one, but the shorter-life report shows mileage is not uniformly strong. Wet braking and snow or ice use each attract criticism from one owner, rather than a repeated complaint across the group. With two mid-life and three end-of-life reviews but no repeat-owner updates, the feedback supports a broadly satisfactory road tyre more clearly than a consistent ageing or winter-performance claim.

Quite a nice budget tire. I have to say the dry grip is outstanding. Wet grip is satisfactory. Road feedback is good. Ride comfort is OK for a 21'.
Unfortunately when it comes to snow/ice, the tire has pathetic performance. I've been better off with permium SUMMER tires... The vehicle is barely controllable and in fact scary to drive.

Braking on dry ground is very good but on wet ground it is a little weak which is normal
It is a very durable tire and wears out very slowly
In terms of comfort, it is as comfortable as Korean tires and the sound does not penetrate into the car

I've been driving my shogun on these for 2 years. Done around 22.000 miles. Had to replace the rears after a year, and now all 4 need replacing.
A good quiet tyre but the don't last long.
I had 2 new rears in june/2020 it's now April 2021 they need replacing, mostly do motorway driving. If your short on cash these will get you going again, just know you'll be paying out again a few month down the line.
Trying out good year efficient grip next.
