[T3] tires.

[Keith Park]

Well if your not towing or driving on the highway alot...
Nankang is absolute junk.  You'll be re-balancing them
all the time and have poor sidewall stiffness.

Still, if you never drive over 45MPH you wont notice the out of round
or hit an off ramp at 70 notice the weak side walls...
I still hate to suggest crap tires to folks, they are your
safety net if you need to suddenly stop or get out of the way.
