Toyo's :afro: Nankang's are ditch finders and the worst tyres I have ever used.

In my experience the only good thing that can be said about Nangkangs is they give AMAZING mileage... probably because they don't wear themselves out with any of this "gripping the road" nonsense  :rolleyes:

In dry and hot weather the Nankangs aren't too bad, but in every other scenario they're garbage.  :whistle:
