AUTOGUY Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 They all sound like Korean tires to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCSurfer Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 They all sound like Korean tires to me. Yep, especially "NaNKang"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Along with Hankook, Kumho, etc.... Actually I sold a set of 20" Kumho Exsta STX tires to a friend with a 99 Suburban, and he loves them. IIRC, they were only about $170 each.

rivierakid55 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 ive run a set of kumho's on another vehicle and they were pretty good. i also had a set of ohtsu's which was another korean knockoff and they were fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_forma Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 stay away from nankang, had them on my stang and they just fell apart, i think i got about 18k miles on them before issues occurred. No toyo proxies in the mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpoSStor SS Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Nankang, Wanli & Sunny are all produced in China, Lexani in South Korea. With all the problems with products coming from China lately, including tires, I'd stay far away from all of them. IMHO it's just not worth the risk.

Krambo Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 With all the problems with products coming from China lately, including tires, I'd stay far away from all of them. IMHO it's just not worth the risk. Funny,...I just threw out my daughter's Magnetix, PolyPockets, and her "Cars" toys for that reason. The recalls from that country are crazy right now.

zac2005ss Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I had Wanli on 99 sonoma before I got rid of her and got the SSS.
