Not the normal tire question
Has anyone heard of the tire brand called Nankang? They are a very cheap tire ZR speed rated.

Why would you consider putting a cheap off brand Chinese tire on your high perfomance Corvette? Of all things to cheap out on - tires is one place that I want the very best.

What's that joke about the tire salesman and the "blowout" special
Seriously, look at Sumitomo tires at TireRack for a good deal. Some on here have good things to say. I couldn't bring myself to do it, went with Toyo Proxes.

Never heard of that brand tire. They may be good for all I know, but with something as important as a tire, I will stick to ones I know are good.
