If Nankangs crap over Nexen then I would worry seriously about the Nexens. :-)

My Soarer came with new Nankangs (not the NS2). After trying them out, after about 1,000 Km I swapped them for Goodyears. When the tyre bloke told me there was a $2.50 recycling fee for the old tyres, I pointed out they were nearly new and asked him if he would like them for $2.50 each. We were both happy.

I agree entirely with Aaron's later comments. Tyres make the biggest single difference to your car's grip and braking. The most extravagant tyres I have bought, roughly $650/wheel for two when I was in no position to do better, were still less than half the cost per kilometre of petrol, and petrol will never save your life. Usually I can pay half the above for some of the best road grip on the market.
