Nankang Tire NS-20 Noble Sport

Been looking for some budget friendly A/S tires for my summer wheels and stumbled upon the Nankang Tire NS-20 Noble Sport. At first I saw the brand name and immediately thought of cheap, off-brand, tires that usually people buy to stretch etc. However the more reviews I read, the more intrigued I got since all of them were really positive. There's even a review from an Audi guy (Click here) about what a nice budget tire they are with some really good performance.
So I took the plunge and bought a set of 245/40/18's for $307 shipped from DTD. Got em mounted up yesterday, just gotta swap my wheel set out later this week to take em on there maiden voyage. Will update with first impressions after the weekend :0)

Just a quick update, been driving on the Nankang's for the past week+ in a mix of wet/dry weather. Great all around tires...very low noise tires and have great traction no matter what I'm driving in. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a great budget tire, I easily saved myself $200+ going with these than a comparable Kumho, Hankook, Firestone etc.

This is excellent info as I will be getting new tires on Thursday. I have a B8, do you know if I can also go 245/40/18 without rubbing?

Thanks!
