nankang tires
Thursday, April 07, 2005 12:17 PM
I'm looking at buying a 17 inch package from wheelbargain.com. The rim brand is NR. and the model is 228. I can choose from several different tires, one of which is nankang. the others are wanali,wynstar, general and the most expensive dunlop. Which should a go with?


hugs and hand pounds, peace

Anything but Nankang but ask them if they have the Hankook Ventus 2s, they are are really good economy tire and most of the big discounters carry them.

One of my friends had a set of Nankang tires he got from Discount Tire. I am not sure on the model. He called them Nankang "Maypops", since he replaced 3 out of 4 due to them being junk. He was not an aggressive driver by any means.

If you plan to drive the crap out of the first set, just pick one of the cheaper ones

If it was me choosing, I would spend the extra $25-33 per tire for the Dunlops.

Not sure if those tires will fit. They are wider and taller than the ones you already have....
Sounds like f-body tires.

My nankang's have about 20k on them, rear ones are like new (they are on the front now), but the front ones were pretty bald. No burn outs or track time on them.
