Default Nankang or nexen summer tires ??

...I was wondering if anyone on here is running nankang or nexen summer tires? I am thinking of putting them on since the price is good but most reviews i find are really bad about them overheating and staff. Any info would be great, thanks...

Im running nankangs. car kraze got mine from there.

They are actually pretty damn good, i got the summer tires, not the all season. They grip pretty damn well. I was actually surprised for the price i paid. I didnt notice any overheating, but the weather in t dot wasnt that great for last while. Im trying them as well right now so im not sure how long they last. I am a pretty well spirited driver and with 18" they keep me pretty glued to the road so i say go for them.

Nexen are sold in walmart, so i would avoid those like a plague.

Hey, car kraze is were i was going to go, did you get the ns2 or ns20 ?? so they were not that good in the wet??? there are asking $1200 for 18 rs4 gunmetal replicas with either tire so i think its a good deal...what size of tire did you go with? i am thinking 225/40/18 on my instead of 235/40/18 that is recommended...

i just picked up my summer tires at car kraze as well, just randomly found that place searching google for tire shops...

they were the cheapest place for the tires i was looking for, cheaper than the next cheapest by over $100
