Anyone Ever Hear Of This Tire Or Reputation?

My 17's are coming in and Im still waiting, But my wheels come with tires Ive never heard of before.So meanwhile I wanted to ask everyone if they've ever heard of this brand called Nankang. This is the first Ive heard of this company??

I've heard of it lots of times, especially when I'm browsing for wheels & tires package (whalentire.com being one of the best deals for tires around the net), I don't know about their quality but seems that they're competing w/ brands like kumho, wanli, (ever heard of those?) etc.

Yeah, if so thats not such a bad brand. I wonder how long they have been around? Thats good to know though. I ordered from wheelsandtires.com so I didnt get the ZR but its ok though. As long as they are wrapped in rubber. I just didn't want any firestone quality if you know what I mean.

i can hardly find used tires w/ those infamous brands sold on ebay, that could mean the tires are good enough, or customers can always return them to the seller; the latter seems less likely.
just my 2 cents

I went on the website you gave me, damn im fuckin pissed. I payed $790 total to wheelsandtires.com for my package with Nankang tires, when I could have gone to whalentire.com and got Kuhmo ecsta ZR's with the wheels for $650. Im also on a 4wk extra long backorder on top of the month Ive been already waiting previously, while whalentire has them in stock!!! . Oh well said and done cant do shit now. I lose 20% if I back out.

Actually its $730 From whalentire, I didnt finish the checkout completely hehehe so im not as pissed off as I was. But damn they sure take a hell of a longtime to get these wheels in from japan or whereever they come from. Probably because of customs and all but Im anxious like theres no tomorrow.

They are coming with the package mounted and balanced. What more can I do. Next set will be pirelli, or toyo.....Thats when they DO need to be replaced.
