boyd coddington said that they can fix the wheel, so i think i want to keep them. im just checking on the tires because its time for 4 new ones anyway. it has nitto nt555s now. the nittos are 275/35/zr18. the tires i listed above are not z rated, but do i really need z rated? my car is not a daily driver, i only put about 50 miles/month on it

compound wise they dont hold up as well as some of your other tires....for example ive had cars come in with alignment issues and tire wear was ALOT more noticable with the nexxens then say a michelin....same alignment specs on two different cars.....

NON SPONOR LINK REMOVED this is where I found them, decent tire for the money, wet traction is not the best though

like they say you pay for what you get. but on the other hand if you are on a tight budget its worth a try. i wouldnt get the nankang cause someone i know has them and they have a lot of trouble balancing them so if anything get the nexen.

I had a set of the Nankangs years ago and the tread wear was unexceptable in my opinion. I don't remember exactly how long they lasted, just know that my Nissan frontier four-banger wore them out pretty quickly.
