I read a report that liked their 235/40/17's. Anyone hear anything else? They are wicked cheap...$96 a piece!

Uuuhhh...."Nankang" tires just doesn't sound too good..... for sub-100$-ish tire I would get the Kumho Ecsta 712 (100$ at tirerack.com); at least I've heard more raves about it.

I saw some Nankang tires that had track time--a few laps. They chunked away. They are noisy, squeal, and don't grip for sh-t, according to the owner. He had them trashed with plenty of tread left.
