Anyone heard of or used these tires?
I have been looking around for some tires for my 22's and I ran across this brand tire Nankang SP-5. The prices are really cheap in the 150's per tire for a 265/40R22. Anyone heard of these or used them? I cant find any reviews for them other then made in tiawan. Opinions?

50 views and no response. Whats your opinions? Would you run a no name brand tire on your truck? I dont race just a DD and as low as my truck is it never gets off the pavement.

those tires are hit and miss to be honest with you. they are going to ride and balance like ****, they may or may not vibrate even if they can get them to balance out. if your on a budget and thats all you can swing then, you gotta do what you gotta do. if you can look at the yokahama parada tires, they are good tires, ride good and last a while, not sure on traction though. try to stay away from nankang, maxxis, sunny's, and those off brand tires that you find at the flea market.
