Tires Hankook or NANKANG

i havent had an issue with tread life... i mean yea these arent no ****ing pirelli's or falken's. but for the price they've lasted me. and like i said i ONLY buy nankangs.

Im running 195/40/17 on my Corrado. I was never a fan of 17's but absolutely fell in love with these ultra rare BBS's and decided to buy then and put them on anyways. Since I didnt want to rub I bought smaller yet still reasonable tires. They are made by nanking but your brands are limited with oddball sizes.

Best bang for the buck, Hankook W300 for me.

I have Hankook Ice Bear W300's on the Mazdaspeed 3 and I like them a lot. I actually first used them on the Miata. Not the most extreme winter tire but NJ has very mild winters and they behave a lot like an all season in the dry which is perfect for me.

I've run a couple of sets of Hankook Ice Bears: 225/40/18's on the stock MS3 wheels - My primary winter setup. The car performed wonderfully. Aside from being a plow at some points (my car is lowered), the traction control + LSD + snow tires made for a flawless snow driver.

I may try these next season. I'm currently on my second season with a set of Hankook W404's, and I've been very happy with them. The dry handling/performance most likely falls short of the iPike's, but I believe the W404's provide a bit more snow and ice traction, which was my main concern.

Coming back from Whistler on Thursday, a 5 hour stand still... The tires worked great on ice / snow.

I have the same tires on my Golf, we had 15\" of snow last week and the car behaved wonderfully. I only got stuck once, in my driveway because I was snow plowing. I've taken my car up to Mt. Baker a few times and was able to drive on snow and some ice.

yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.

I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
