Wanali... Federal...Nankang

Personally I have never heard of these brands looked on tirerack and couldn't find reviews on them... and one of those brands would come with my tires and rims package. Right now I am thinking of buying my tires else where and just getting the rims from them...
So if anyone knows whether these are good tires or not maybe I can finally decide...

Those are pretty much cheap knock off tires. Stick with a name brand.

Actually, I've been rollin on Federal 595 Superstreets and I've enjoyed them alot. They had plenty of traction and good tirewear.

I went to get my snow tires on the other day and the Les Schwab guy said they have been selling lots of Wanli tires. He said they handle well, but wear fairly quickly. They are basically Yokohama AVS Sport rip-offs.

I thought about them, but I will probably stick with Toyo Proxes or something I am a little more sure about. Sounds like you did the same.

So I guess all three are knock offs. I know one of them is a knock off of Kuhmo which I hate and the wanli are knock offs of yokohoma so the third one I am sure is the same but more than likely I will be more happy with my Toyos which should be here soon =)

Yes tires are very important...if performance tires are what your looking for. I'm more of a cosmetic modder as you can see. I just want a car I think looks nice. These tire's are much better than my stock potenza's, and they've kept me quite happy.
It's not a matter of being cheap either, I just choose not to spend more money on tires I don't think I need. And you thinking their crap is your own opinion.

Nankang is ok because its Taiwanese

actually they really arent so bad, Nankangs are ok, and Federals, I just noticed they go alot louder once they started to wear down, amazing tread wear though for regular driving
