Launched in 2021, the Winter Activa SV-4 from Nankang is a winter tire with a V-shaped directional profile, ideal for extreme conditions of cold, snow, and ice. More versatile than its predecessor and available in many sizes, the Winter Activa SV-4 adapts to many categories of passenger cars. The highly sophisticated tread pattern provides high grip, impressive acceleration, and very high road holding, especially in the rain. The design and depth of the grooves have been specially adapted to offer reliable comfort on snowy roads; the wide shoulders equipped with blocks further enhance grip and traction. In addition to super-efficient drainage, rolling resistance has been significantly reduced for better fuel economy. An elegant, high-performance, and economical tire.

Good value for money. The only downside is that they are a little noisy, and in my opinion the sidewall is a bit too soft. In corners, if you go in a little faster, you can feel it move about slightly on the way out, but with normal driving there are no problems.
The tyres are excellent in snow, average in the rain; the rear end tends to step out, but on dry roads the front end doesn’t follow—I get a feeling that the car is floating. The front tyres are down to the winter wear indicators, and the rear tyres are like new after one winter. My driving isn’t gentle; cornering is so good.
Very good, 10,000 km without any problems.
Pleasantly surprised by the road holding and traction. Haven’t had any snow yet to assess their effectiveness in that respect.
Second purchase: winter tyres. Everything was fine, both the delivery and the tyres, which arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. I have the same tyres on a Tiguan and I’m very happy with them. Just slightly noisy, nothing to report.
Due to the wintry conditions here in Germany in 2025/26 and during a ski holiday in Austria, I have so far been able to make a fairly good comparison with my previous winter tyres: good, solid grip on fresh snow when pulling away, braking and steering. Road noise (motorway) is also acceptable. I can’t yet provide any reliable information on fuel consumption. Actual wear can only be definitively assessed in a few weeks’ time. In this respect, the previous product was catastrophic… Conclusion: After one month it is too early to make a final judgement, but the key aspects and requirements of a classic winter tyre are fully and satisfactorily met. Excellent value for money.
No problems: delivered to the fitting centre, fitted as planned. Just a very slight humming noise, but the stability is excellent.
Perfect, good tyres, recent DOT.
Good value for money; these tyres perform their winter function perfectly.
Prompt delivery, price okay.
