Specifications
NANKANG WS-1
NANKANG WS-1 245/50R19 105Q XL RunFlat — quality All season tyre from NANKANG. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
On the low side. The NANKANG WS-1 has an E rating, the bottom band for fuel economy. Higher rolling resistance means a bit more fuel on a petrol or diesel car, or slightly less range on an EV. Tyres here tend to put their effort into wet braking or hard winter grip instead.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Solid. The NANKANG WS-1 sits at class C, the middle of the wet-grip scale. Braking and grip in the rain are reliable for normal conditions; you give up some braking distance to the top grades, but nothing that stands out day to day.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Slightly above average. At 72 dB the NANKANG WS-1 is a touch louder than the middle of the scale. You'll notice a bit more hum at speed, though it stays well within legal limits and rarely bothers you on shorter trips.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The NANKANG WS-1 carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Can I keep driving if these tyres lose pressure?
Yes, for a short distance. The NANKANG WS-1 is a run-flat tyre, marked RunFlat with reinforced sidewalls that hold the car's weight even with no air in the tyre. After a puncture you can usually carry on for around 80 km at up to 80 km/h to reach a garage, instead of changing a wheel at the roadside. Run-flats should only go on a car designed for them, ideally one with a tyre-pressure monitoring system.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The NANKANG WS-1 carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
NANKANG is a budget class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
Customer reviews
Quite okay, but I expected a bit more. Sufficient for normal driving.
Helt okej men jag hade väntat mig lite mer. Räcker för vanlig körning.
