Nankang
Nankangs are garbage. I had bought some because they were a cheap price. They didnt last long at all. I kept having flat tires. Pay a little more and get a better tire. Hankook is an inexpensive tire but I have had good luck with them

yeah, im about to buy a set of either nankang or hankook 225-35-20 & 245-35-20 for $500, but not installed. but the shop im going to buy it at dont really charge to much for mounting and balancing. the only thing with the place im going to is that its located in SD

I have Nankang 255/35/20 on my Impala. They seem pretty fine. I've made a 10 hour round trip to Indy and a 27 hour round trip to Atlanta and they ride great and aren't too loud. My car is 4200lbs.
I did have a blow out in one of them. I ran over a large screw and the tire started going flat (didn't know the screw was in there. I stopped at a gas station and put more air in the tire. 20ft later the tire blew out. I also ran over another piece of metal and had to get a tire plugged.
If the roads didn't have all that debris they would be great. 635 mounted and balanced. I'd buy them again. I only drive my car about 6 montha year.

I have nankangs-- 205/40/17's -- Maybe it's my wheels out of round, but these have never been balanced right-- making my rough riding G20 that much worse to take long trips in-- but on the handling side-- they grip well, but not as well as a pirelli or a BF Comp T/A-- Those tires grip well--
The wear is pretty good though, and they are quiet-- Not to mention, I think my new wheels may be out of round-- They're ADR victory's-- and it's a big letdown to buy wheels and find out you got em cheap cuz' they're out of round --
For a cheap tire, they're fine--
