Is this a good tire??

 

NO NO NO NO NO..stay away from them, they are cheap crap, they are **** in the dry and shitier in the wet, theyre a really cheap budget tyre, $60 for a 215.40.17. they have a wear rating of 360 so they are a very hard compound, i had them on a few years back, and had to take them off after about 1000miles, they are the worst tyre i ever came across...STAY WELL AWAY!!!!!!!!

PS theyre made by yokohama, or yoko own nankang but it doesnt show in their tyres!!

SHitttttttt.... I just bought 4 of them. I wonder if I can return them?

 

you live in NH so thats a sort of mixed climate...right...i would change them, if possible, i live in ireland and we get a really mixed bag climate all year round, and those tyres do NOT suit our weather. I have never heard one good report about them, but before you do that just check the wear rating on the side wall to see if its the same as the tyres we get in europe, ours are 360, my last tyres toyo proxes TIs were 260, my new federals are 240...unless you want to get about 30000miles from them exchange them...how much did you pay for them and what size?

 

I got ripped off. $100 a piece. I need to return these. they are 195/55 r15 and teh treadwear is 320

 

I actually have the Nankang EX-500. are these any good?
