Need cheap tires
 
Any feedback on Nankang or sumitomo'S

Falken's are cheap.

Cristobal09 02-01-2012 09:58 AM

stay far away from Nankangs. I mean theyre alright if you dont do any spirited driving, but on these cars, dont get them. I had them on my old Lancer Ralliart and they were terrible. I do not have any experience with sumitomos.

I just looked up Sumitomo's for the 19" sport package and could not find any.

I found the Hankooks to be pretty reasonable

TerribleONE 02-01-2012 12:29 PM

+1 for the hankooks.. Real great tire for the money

Never skimp on tires. Never.

Put Sumitomo HTR III's on my 350Z and absolutely love them. Best bang for the buck tire out there.

I disagree. I have Nankang NS-II's on my 400HP Z32 300ZX TT and they are great. On my second set now...... Great tire for the price! Especially if you are on a tight budget. But if you can afford better def go that route... I'd def get them if they came in Nismo sizes. But am planning on getting some RE11's for my Z34 instead.

Falken Ziex 912 are not bad for the price. Can be had for under 500 for 4 tires if you find the right deal. Been running them for a while. Decent daily driver tire and softer ride quality than the yokohama stocks from the factory. Not the best grip though. Remember you get what you pay for. In my situation I don't track or drift or go to the drag strip, so just tooling around town they work just fine for the price.

i used falken 452's did alright im tring hankook next

Colesy 02-01-2012 06:57 PM

I had Nankang's on an old Monaro, I had two delaminate on me, so I said I would never use them again. I have since installed on my "Z" Falken 452's on my 18 inch wheels, upgrading to 19's so have had Hankook's for around six months, and connot fault either of the two makes as an alternative.

Hankook v12's are cheap and good, I recommend these.

90 ST 02-01-2012 07:05 PM

i've had great luck with the V12's also, and they are avaliable in multipul sizes if you want to go bigger. i'm going with a 245/40/19 fr. and a 305/30/19 rear next tire change.
