Nankangs - Cheap and nasty but if you're going to buy them new, at least they have tread.

I have them on my car and havn't had any problems with premature wear, squealing or loss of grip.

Not fantastic in the wet, but I havn't had a major rear end slip out - only a bit of understeer now and again

Agreed. I had them on my VT and chewed through to the steel belts in one point on the back left. Gotta love lots of neg camber + bubble in the tyre. Thump, thump, thump, thump....

I agree with this i have had them twice now with new rims and never really had an issue with them

I did have an issue with one tyre being out of shape when I bought this set of rims with them on, but the car had been sitting still for nearly a month.

In conclusion, don't plan on going on a long holiday unless you take your car lol

On my 17's I had from new I got about 50k out of them between my TE and TJ plus they did another 5k on my mates TF.
But the ones I had on my 18's didn't get anywhere near as many km's only got bout 25k because of a major allignment issue from a trip out west that caused them to scrub out on the inside.

But other then that they handled great and never gave me a drama in the wet with traction.

If you wanna eat them maybe..

They are cheap and for same money you can get the maxxis and i have found them so much better with grip and tyre wear.. I think the maxxis where a few bucks cheaper. I am getting 5000 kays more out if the maxxis, For 20s thats heaps..:)

I have them on my 18s, slippery in the wet, but that just makes them more fun - I find them quite good for a daily driving tyre...

ive got the nangkangs on my car, i bought the the 20's second hand, and they came with it. they are pretty bad, terrible in the wet. just understers, aqua planes and looses grip during acceleration.
ill get some better ones, when the tread goes.
