What brand is NNAITE tire?
2 Answers
NNAITE tires, fully known as ANNAITE, are products of Shandong Xingyuan International Trade Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xingyuan Group, registered and established in December 2004. The company is mainly responsible for the import and export business of all-steel radial tires, bias tires, and related raw materials. Xingyuan Group has successively applied for 48 patents in more than ten countries and regions, including the EU, the United States, Australia, South Africa, and Canada, with 29 already approved and granted patent certificates. The company's products have established over 100 sales points nationwide, forming a sales network covering more than 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. The company mainly has five leading brands: "HILO," "Guobao," "ANNITE," "Qiangwei," and "AMBERSTONE." Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low-temperature effects during driving. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the car suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and passability, and bearing the weight of the car. Methods for maintaining ANNAITE tires: Increase awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly. Periodically correct wheel balance; unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Regularly rotate tires; to ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, perform tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use of ANNAITE tires, pay attention to the following: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
I think you might be referring to Nankang tires, probably a misspelling—it's actually an old brand from Taiwan called Nankang Tires. I've used their products several times on my small car, and overall, they offer good value for money, suitable for everyday driving and modified cars. Their advantage lies in their affordable price and decent durability—I've driven over ten thousand kilometers with minimal tread wear. For example, their Sport NS-2 series provides excellent grip on dry roads, especially when I take mountain roads, offering stable cornering. However, their performance in wet conditions is average, so you need to slow down and be cautious on slippery surfaces. The downside is that they don’t perform as well as specialized winter tires in snow or ice, so I always recommend them for urban use. By the way, they’re quite popular in the drifting scene—many enthusiasts use them because of their high cost-performance ratio and the flexibility for DIY modifications. In summary, if you’re on a budget or just getting into racing, they’re a reliable choice.
