Tires BFGoodrich or NANKANG
I've got Nankang's and i've had them for two years now (only runnin them in the summer)...They were cheap n i was broke so they were my choice :laugh: Haven't had a problem with them yet:thumbup:
i ran 215/35/18's NSII's on an 8.5 last year and they stretched well... drove them all over last season and when i sold them they were at about 70-75% tread life left... they rode good, they were quiet, and good in the rain. for what they are i couldnt complain.
Seconding BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW2s water doesn't phase them.
I have BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW2 on my GTI... They are FANTASTIC in the rain. I've gone miles and miles at sustained speeds of over 100mph in the rain with no problems whatsoever.
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.
generally i buy BFG or Michelin, as when i worked in a garage, they were the best wearing, least problematic, and best performing tires for my needs.... Falkens/goodyears/bridgestones wear great tires (assuming they bought the correct tire for their application) but each had their troubles... often times it was customer maintinence, people never aligned, checked pressure, or other random issues... other times it was the tires generally wearing out too damned fast, as seen with most of the newer goodyears, and on a trip to test drive for goodyear, they even told me that they were having some issues with wear... bridgestones just never impressed me for the price, as there was a BFG G-force in the mix that was always as good...

yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.
Very hard tire, no traction and questionable quality. Lasted about 10K on my son's Jetta w/18's...
