I agree, No Personal Disrespect..Just dont like the wheels..But Unfortunately Both Opinions and Hurting someones feelings go hand in hand..

Im not Immune to this rule..

Yes, I have those tires on my car as we speak. Not too much to worry about in FL, but in the Rain its a little sketchy.

I have already Hydroplaned, skidded around corners and forget about Winter Use.. I got them about a year ago, not too many miles since dont Daily the car, but they are coming off in the Spring time for some Contis and a new set of wheels.

I got them after reading some review which i thought at the time was OK for the Price, but silly me the rule "You get what you pay for 9 out of 10 times is correct"

I dont mind going cheap on a China Chrome bezel for $15 but when it comes to tires I think is Money Well spent, You will need it when Least expected.

Good luck

K, i'm not about to start a pissing match, but like i said take it FWIW.

I went to a meeting 3hrs later there was a surprise snowfall, and had to drive home. They were fine, my buddy just drove his M3 with these on the rears for a few days... drive slower with them.

I never had the problem you mention with the rain, maybe they changed the compounds since 4yrs ago [very plausible] since mine were good, and yours seem to be ****.

These compared to Maxxis Ma-v1's were 100% better, those were sketchy tires... they would slide around with the slightest rain and my Nankang's were wicked overall.

those tires are crap. Plain and simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise either has not had more than one set of tires in their life or drives drunk and doesn't notice the ride.

I Want sum 19" rims also but was told to just go with 20s due to how expensive the 19" tires will be which are way more expensive than 20"tires..
