true

but i'd rather get good tyres on my car than skimp on them
could be the difference between u hitting a tree in a field and keeping it on the road

I considered Nankangs when I was looking for new tyres as I was very short of £££ but also I was very short of tread!! I was put off by the fact that even the tyre depot said that they were Ditch finders :) I have Federals on mine at the moment and they dont seem too bad. Aprox £60 a corner. This site is uselful though for tyre reviews http://www.tyrerevie...k/Tyre/Nankang/

Try Kumhos mate, better than paradas IMO and cheaper.
