Default Nankang Tires-Anyone heard of them?

I was going through various tire store websites and I came across these tires while doing a search for 275/45/20. They seem like they'd be really sticky with only a 280 treadwear rating and they're dirt cheap too at around $120.

Has anybody ever heard of them or tried them? From what I gather they're made in China, but what isn't these days.

I have seen them on cars, just nothing that big... I dont know about traction or anything like that but it looks like they wear fairly well on cars...

ive seen them before, and they are all over ebay. Probably a decent foreign brand that is just recently being imported.

i had them on my old truck with 17's. sticky tire, they dont last that long, but the bang for the buck is good. if you smoke them alot, they will be gone quick. i've smoked my cooper discovery H/T Plus tires quite a few times and they have lasted 40,000 miles and still have alot left. they are 275/45/20's.
