Nankang Tires

[totalB5]

Have you guys ever had any experience with Nankang tires?

Are they good stretching tires?

I usually run Falkens but they don't have the size I want. A local tire shop told me that Nankang actually carries the size I want in which I need to make sure they can stretch and actually look decent when they're stretched.

Thanks guys.

Ran nankangs about 7 years ago... GARBAGE for wear and traction... If they have improved, great. My personal experience was poor with them.

How can you say that nankang tires are good quality tires??? Have you ever read any of the horrible reviews on these tires? I would NEVER put Nankang or Sunny tires on any car, even if they are free. These tires have thread separation issues, premature bursting, extremely fast wear, and just horrible traction. I would rather put slightly used real tires than new Nankang tires for the same price. The only somewhat new brand that is slightly making it into the market with some decent tires is Nexen. All the other recently released brands are pure garbage adn should never have been allowed in the US market. Tires are not things to go cheap on and at the end you get what you pay for, just don't try it with your tires.

Thanks for the infos guys.

Realized it was really cheap but I was strictly looking for the size hence why I asked if they were any good. Fast treadwear wouldn't do me any good.

strech on a nakange tire is trash, I wouldn't do it. Check out online tires for prices you can get better stuff. What about a 215/40/18 would also be a strech and they got falken for a 100 bucks a piece.

i change them every spring/summer..... fall/winter so i never had a problem nankang for spring and falken for summer..... never had tire thread problem pot hole ... or any type of issue .... so my rating if i were to give one is a B+.... i never had an issue .....

my 04 s4 came with brand new nankang ns2's when i picked it up prob because the original continentals couldent pass inspection. cheapest tire for my size so i assume thats why there on my car.

no complaints so far. then again I have nothing to compare them to

i don't like falken 452. I had them on my car twice and once they are over like 5k miles they start making alot of noise. I vouch for the hangook v12 evo!
