Best Tires for the Peugeot 406 coupe

This is the best tire I ve ever used. Especially on wet tracks I couldnt have been able to slide this tire.
What I do is deliberately push throttle on bends and corners on wet surface but they stick on road with a decent feeling of security. This is my tire from now on. 10 out of 10

I've had these tires on a Peugeot 406 Coupe 3.0i V6. Excelent tires in dry, very good on a wet road. Going to buy P7 Cinturato again, 100%!

I have mostly used Continental tires in the past however, being a little financially challenged in recent years and after some research on this site I decided to take the plunge and try some Budget brand tires. First & foremost "You get what you pay for and most of the Tires the general public buy are summer Tires".
I purchased 4 Nankang Tires online and had them fitted locally ((Total cost March 2011 £210 for all 4) absolute bargain compared to the prices I was used to paying. The first thing you notice with these Tires is the increase in road noise compared to previous tires but you soon get used to this then the handling which, I had braced myself for knowing they were going to be poor compared to Conti's again you get used to how far you can push the car in dry and wet conditions and, in my opinion they are not the best Tire in the world but if you keep this in mind and adjust your driving accordingly they are fine, it made me a safer / slower driver. Traction / grip in dry is acceptable, in the wet they are a little deficient (watch it on roundabouts, the word Drift comes to mind). These Tires saw me through two and half years as I have just had the fronts replaced after 20600 miles with Avon ZV5, two Winters and in the snow they are also deficient (remember they are Summer Tires), the Rears still have quite a bit of life in them. Went out after new Avons fitted to the Front and it's at this point I realised just how poor the old tires were but, in all fairness the old Nankangs were worn out. Summary:- Nankang tires represent excellent value for money and mileage and, you must keep in mind they are a Budget brand Summer Tire so they are not going to perform like one of the leading brands, would I recommend or buy again? Yes if price is the main factor.

great tire, good grip on wet and dry. Rapid wear on the sides, the front tires have 10000km, tires rear them are OK.

the worst tire I had, no traction on dry and wet, and really bad braking. I do not recommend it!

Complete lack of dry grip. Average at best in wet conditions. Quite alright in snow.
Worst of all though, the very very poor brake performance make them totally dangerous!!!

this is a very good tire, excellent grip in the dry and in the rain, very safe at high speed, although the chassis of the 406 Coupé helps a lot, but I'm satisfied with these tires. They are also very quiet. For a coupe or a sedan GT typed, I recommend.

Very disappointed, normally use Michelin Primacy but did not want to spend as much. Managed 17'602 on the goodyears, primacy averaged between 21k-25k

Bought a very low mileage 406 coupe that still had all four of its factory fitted 8 year old michelin pilots on!
Had the ZV5s fitted and they have transformed the car, Handles like it should now, so grippy, very assured driving on wet motorways, no sign of any wear yet after 3000 miles, £40 a corner cheaper than michelins too!
Nice to have the rim protection on these, a real bonus avoiding those nasty kerb scrapes that ruin your alloys.

Read the reviews from Saab/GM drivers so decided to give these a go. My Coupe has the 2.2 petrol engine so it is no rocket ship, but these fit the bill nicely for a realtively large front wheel drive coupe. Excellent grip, quiet and comfortable in the dry, and very good performance in the wet. They have handled the wet weather really well. While they do look good, it is they way they match or exceed the performamce of premium tires but for roughly half the price. Can't really say about wear but no early signs (balancing and tracking is essential whichever tires you use).
