Default Are These Tires Good?????

im ordering a set of ruff 278's and they come with these tires but i have the option to swap them out and pay alittle more for others.
anyways they are
high-performance Nankang NS2 tires (255/35/18 and 275/35/19).
what would be a better one to upgrade to?

Nankangs arent all that great. they will fit and last for a while, but you wont like them most likely. you get what you pay for and im sure your not paying much for the Nankangs.lol
