dont expect them to be anything spectacular. They are ok tires with ok performance. They'll get you from point A to point B safely if that's all you need.

I've have these tires before on my honda. They're not all that bad , i wanted to try something different from my old Kumho's and these came around the same time.

Seems like Kumho's kept going and came out with more designs but nankang got stuck(but steady i think) and only came out with a few tires

Go to www.edgeracing.com and get the Falken Fk452's. I've had them on my car for quite some time now and so have many other forum members. This is the cheapest site you will find for tires.

hey that is cheap. thanks for the info. Ill be getting the falken tires when my credit card comes in this week.

i wish i lived in florida i wouldnt have to pay for shipping.

i also notice that they dont carry the same tire for the front. which eventually would need to be changed, and i would like to keep matching sets.

you will find that almost nowhere carries the same tires size for our front rims. they are not a very typical size and if you do want to keep the orginal size and you do find them you will be paying out the wazoo for them.

They are better than the Kuhmo Espta or whatever. They are made in Korea so they are cheap. I say go for it. They are inexpensive, pretty quiet, much better traction than OEM (don't know bout the OEM 19's) Good in wet/Dry and last a hella long time.
