This winter tire is the best I've ever had. I (70) have driven on many different brands in the past, including some premium manufacturers; but this tire is just as good. It's proven its quality, especially in the last few days. I'm thrilled!

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Brilliant tires that rival top brands.
They are definitely quieter than many other tires, incredibly durable, perform best in freezing temperatures, and are surprisingly long-lasting even with aggressive highway driving. It's no wonder they are a favorite among taxi drivers and especially Mercedes drivers. They have that certain something – comfort.

I must say I bought them new for 45euro each, and not for normal street driving, but to have fun with my rwd is200. So i put 2 of them in the back, but they are much more grippy than I expected. Dry handling is very good, very hard to make the lose traction with the 155hp the is200 has, very stable. Also the wet grip is incredibly more than I expected, they perform as much as makes no difference as a premium tire. To lose traction you have to kick the clutch. Also snow and ice performance is more than average, I made a roadtrip to the mountains during a snowstorm and they performed very good, managed to get moving under all conditions, and they feel safe on any surface. I was expecting some shitty unsafe, sliding around with these chinesse cheap tires, but they managed to wow me. In the front I run some Nokian wrd3 from 2016, so i can say that they are almost the same level of grip over all surfaces.

Put to test 235/35 and 245/35 R19 Star Performer tires. Indeed, very similar to Nankang NS-2.
Very great looking V shark tread, rim edge with protection lip, nice smooth. Stretches well.
Dry grip excellent, can't complain. Wet grip is pretty ok, could be little better... but for this price it's great.

Cheap tire. They are dangerous with speed over 120km/h. The car dance by itself and hard to control even if it is a straight line. If you want to chat inside the car, forget it as the noise is to loud.
The wear on the side is crap.
Worst tire I ever have owned.
Now I have changed to GoodYear Eagle F1 AS3, and what a differnce.
PS! If you don't like a big challenge, never buy these tires
