Neutral : Very prompt on delivery but had a few problems with item and responded quickly

The second set would be your best choice outta the two, just not to sure on how reliable they are but from the specs they seem decent

I would advise you to go online and do a search for those tires, try and find somewhere that has tested them both in the wet and dry ,.. That is usually what I do , i really won't buy a set of tires that I have never really heard off before , . In my mind that is just absurd, I had khumo's and was really happy with them , great tires , great grip ... better than nittos (to me) my dad had 450s.. (crap in the rain) and 555 those were decent ....
Anyhow I tend to stick with what works, I don't think I will be getting the khumos again only cause the sidewall on there tires are a bit on the thick side , and they tend to make your rims look small....

good luck
Bruce

^^^^^ good advice, i didn't even think of that (as obvious as it is )

Nankang is an "up and coming" chinese tire company, makes lots of tires for atvs/motorcycles and is expanding to lots of different countries, around since 1978 i think.......

Hankook has a MUCH better website Lots of more info and found tons of more hits with cars that have those tires and recommend them..........

depending on shipping costs, i'll probably go with hankook's
