Save up and buy real tires.

Nankangs are cheap. You get what you pay for IMO.

You should just be scared just by looking at their website

Yes!!! Hahha Nankangs. Cheap as hell. Bargain basement tires manufactured by Yokohama. I had a set of these once when I was a teenager. Wow do they SUCK. It doesn't take much to get them past operating temperature. If you're really hurting bad and desperately need tires, go for it. But if you can avoid getting them, and can get something better, by all means, do so.

Nankangs are made in china....yokohamas are made in Japan. Their logo is somewhat similar, but I dont believe they are connected in any way

i beg to differ with all of you, so many people are hung up on names brands, my wife had a set of hangkangs on her car, and to tell u the truth, they were great, handles well in dry and wet conditions, sure they are not a z rated tire, but all in all to me a great tire for the $$. Id put a set on my car for sure there a hell of alot quieter than yoko's

LOL. That reminds me of all that stupid cheap lighting equipment. Like the washer lights, and the LED muffler tips. They all say stuff on the package in really bad English.

"Bright washer super light!"

"Night shine crazy fun!"
