Anyone heard of Nankang NS-1 tires?

Any good reviews, I am looking for a 235/45/17 and they look good, treadwear is 340 with A traction, and they are 92 bucks a peice, anyone got a better idea for tires? Love to get some feedback from all those with rims
Thanks in advance

Don't get them!!

I was talked into getting them by a "friend" who owned a shop. They sucked! On the highway they squished around and felt very unstable. I guess it was sidewall flex or something but it felt like they were made out of jello. They cornered like crap as well, squeling and sliding all over the place. They had a good tread design but I got rid of them within a week. Go with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's. They are about the same price (I think) and they are an excellent tire. I got these after I got rid of those crappy Nankangs. I'm real happy with the Kumhos.

· Computer designed casing and tread provides a large footprint and minimizes sidewall flex for excellent stability and handling at speed.
how's that then? anyways I would get Kumhos but they wear like a *****
