Federal, Fulda, Nankang,,,, anyone know about these brands

[1993SSP]

Any of you guys know anything about these tire brands?? Do they rank up there with the Kumho's? I found them on www.tire-easy.com, excellent prices to me on them in the size I am looking at and are great looking tires, but anything can look good in a picture lol

Nankangs suck sack!!!!

I had those on mine, after 3 decent burn outs (20 seconds) they were gone. wires hanging out. They were terrible in the rain and made a lot of noise.

Now I have toyo proxes and they are quite an improvement.

If the federal and Fulda are anything like Nankang, dont touch them.

Amongst the less expensive tires, I'd go with Summitomos personally.

Get one with some decent sidewall.

+1 for the crap Nankangs (Korean I think) absolute garbage at a performance standpoint. They might work fine on a civic or somthing with like 3lbs of torque.

Never heard of the other two brands <--maybe that's a problem right there

It's hard to skimp on tires and expect them to perform

Tires are the last point of contact, a possible weakest link voiding all other upgrades.

I had never heard of Kumho at the time I purchased them, they have been awesome tires, so I didnt know if those brand swould be a good choice or not

I learned a LOOOOONG time ago that tires are the ultimate "you get what you pay for" item on a car. In 20+ years in the car business, I can't begin to tell you how many off-brand Asian-made tires I've seen in shreds. I wouldn't consider driving on anything but a Goodyear, BFG, Michelin or Bridgestone, in that order.

i sell these tires all day long at work.
dont get the nankangs.
a guy with an ls1 camaro runs the fuldas, loves them
the federals are a nice all season traction tire....

The federal tire is the one that reall has my attention, for the size im needing and $125 a tire, it's gonna be hard to pass up
