Most of the sport-oriented tyres have moved up from 140 and 180 tread to 240-300 treadwear ratings. Now I know treadwear isn't a "std" value....but it still means something!
Imagine the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo.....one step below the auto-x/dry weather Ventus RS-3....and the Evo is @ 280 tread. Potenza RE760 Sports rock a 340 tread .....so tech has certainly come a long way!

I would put Nankang with the company of Nexen and Roadstone etc... ie. Something I would never buy...
What price they charged you for that?

Price is not an issue at all, I just want it to be a top spec tyre .. Sadly local dealers for Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone and Continental just don't bring the best models available.. They bring mediocre stuff and charge top price for it..
I can't believe how hard it is to get something extremely good here even when I am willing to pay top dollar for it..

That said, if it was my money, I would roll with Kumho on this one..
Why aren't they bringing the Kumho Ecsta 4x to Trinidad? Shame on them... Its such a good option for the local market and has the perfect specs and characteristics....
