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.

 

Considering your tires are the only thing connecting your truck to the road, I wouldn't skimp. Save up until you can afford a good tire IMO.

 

sounds like china tires

 

that would explain the 150's price tag. I hadnt heard of them before and I remember when other brands were first starting like toyo were cheap and turned out to be good tires. Just wanted some opinions on these but I wont be getting these.

 

Nankang = garbage. Expect very poor traction, especially on wet roads, and a very short treadlife.

 

Check out hankook tires. GREAT tires for the money.. There is a reason you have no responses in the thread. Because nobody has them tires... Like said why skimp on your tires.. Remember the firestone escapade??

 

o yea I remeber those days with the exploders...I dont "skimp" per say but I do have to find the best deals. Married with 2 kids and an ole lady with champainge taste on a beer budget and to top if off an Army salary.

 

Yh they are CRAP. i work at Discount Tire so take it from me there no good. And if its your DD you will be very unhappy! Go Check out a Discount tire near you we do price match! Ask about army discount to. Good luck man
