I have Nankang NS-II 215/35-18's on my Konig Imagines. I think they are pretty good. They have a tread wear rating of 340 (longer to wear out), and have a couple of A ratings (AA being the highest rating). I love them in the rain. Also, you can't go wrong for the price. Here in Miami with the risks of busting tire left and right I can't afford to be spending big bucks on really expensive tires. I know a shop here in Miami, FL that always has them in stock in any size. I purchased my tires (set of 4) for only $299 (that is tax included). I think they have them on ebay for $279+$65. Again if your interested there number is 1-866-902-8473 or Gotwheelsandtires.com ask for Pete, tell him Robert with the black mini s told you about their tires and they might give you a better deal.

Good luck,
Robert
Miami, FL

kouper. i'm running 18X 8 wheels w/ 215/35/18 bfg kdw2's (which are wider than most 215's), lowered on coilovers. my only rubbing issue was with the springs (2.5") plenty of clearance otherwise.
