nankang Tires

hey guys,

i haven't been here for a while but have a question. i ussually run 17" goodyear f1's from alex but have an opportunity to get some 18" white spoked wheels (my asa's are bent to hell) with nankang 215 35 18 tires on them for next to nothing... anyone running these tires and could you compare them to the f1's

thanks
bobbyn

with tires you get what you paid for...

Goodyear F1 is tops for everything and your only connection to the road is thru your tires.. Make your decsion wisely, your new rims may look cool but the tires are what holds you to the road !!

If your "asa's are bent to hell" then you are going to have even worse problems with 215/35-18"s. The shorter the sidewall the less ability there is to adsorb impact from the local potholes. Hope you enjoy the new 18" wheels.
