Anyone try the Nankang? Looks like a bargain for a summer tire
About $330 ($82each) for the 225/45/18~245/45/18 set

They seem to be well reviewed too

 

im selling my stock Potenzas with 400 miles on them, like new. best offer.

 

Yes, Falken does have a matching set of tires and I would recommend them. For those of you wondering about the Falken tires..I replaced my original Bridgestone sport tires with Falkens about 500 miles ago. I have gone on 2 road trips and had both freezing weather here along with summer weather to test them out.

The grip is wonderful and pattern looks sharp. I am not much of a tire person (until now ) so I cannot really say that I noticed more road noise but I think that is the case. They are summer tires so they are GREAT in wet conditions. (I am in Alabama so summer tires suit me just fine.)

I looked at the Michelin Pilots as well as the Goodyear All-seasons. I was instructed by several people at shops and owners and was told they would never put Goodyears on my car. The Michelin Pilots would have been about $500 more than what I paid for my Falkens. So far I plan on getting these again...

 

What sizes were your tires and aprox how much did you pay for the set?

 

I bought a set of continetal mud/snow tires 245-45-18 and run these on all 4 corners. I found a new set of 4 on craigslist for $120.
The potenzas are stacked in my garage, and will be mounted the first of may for summer.
I figure that swapping them like this will give me a couple years of tire life, and the conti's work great on the snow.

I went to the NTB down the street. The guys there know their stuff and they make it easy! They are good at matching prices so if I had done more research maybe I could have gotten them cheaper (I was on a time crunch in getting them before a road trip).

The grand total for the tires including disposal, tire service (free balance rotatating) and taxes was $850. The Falkan FK-542 in 245's were $162.99 and the Falkan FK-452 in 225's were $149.99.

 

Thanks for the reply, I've had Falkens in the past and found them to be a quality tire w/ lower noise than some other HP tires. Decent price, I'll have to do some online price checking since our local dealers aren't big enough to have those prices

 

Have Goodyear's F1 A/S, lot better than other tires I had including the RS-A
