Just looking for a preference on a Wanli tire vs. a Nankang tire, both are 225-45-17??
most people will say nankang are junk but as long as your not driving like your on a constant autocross course theyll last a long time and they grip good. I had mine on for two seasons april-september and they still looked new when i sold them. Only time they slipped was when it was really wet.

oh yeah ive been told by a few owners of Wanli tires they was garbage... not sure why but thats what i was told
My car was made with wrenches, Not chopsticks.
my favorite tires are nitto extreme performance 450's
thats what i will get next probably

i have them... since 02,and no problems. the tread still looks like new....but my car is also a weekend driver.. im sure if i drove my car more that would tell a difference. i agree with hotsaus...... if you get them and not drive on them like your on the circuit i dont see why they wouldnt last as long as any. and I DO SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE, because i've had a set of toyo proxes and i had to end up leaving them because one of the tires had a defect in them (belts busted in the sidewalls). i bought the nankangs and i've had no problems with them so i say go for it.

well speaking from experience ( but mine is 22/40/18 ) i had Nakang and they are junk. I hated every day i had to drive that car. Sidewalls went very very fast and inner lining busted. I never had Wanli so i dont know or never even heard of it. I got BF GOODRICH. pay the extra money and get what you deserve.
wanli is great, ive had them for a long time and i still have tread. THey grip decently too

oh and i have that exact size, i love them. all my friends have them now (an eclipse, a spectra, an intregra, and a g35), because they had some bargan tires and ive had mine longer then them and they have needed to replace theirs

I had Nankang NS2's (225/40/18), I thought they were junk, my suspension mods continuously pushed them to their limit, and they broke loose way too often. They're cheap package tires, so you get what you pay for I suppose is how the old saying goes.
nankang = apc ................people are gonna buy these tires and products regardless.
if you like them get them....... if you dont .........dont buy em
