I need a set of 215/35/18’s for some wheels I have on order. the car wont see any kind of auto x or anything like that. It will be loaded with a crap load of stereo equipment. Should I just look for a set of nankangs for like 300 bucks off egay or do I invest in a nice set of tires that I will never see the performance out of. I am leaning towards the nankangs. But I have been looking at [tires.com](http://tires.com) and seen some Falkens for 107 a pop with free shipping. [http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchTiresBySize.do?cs=215&rd=18&ar=35](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchTiresBySize.do?cs=215&rd=18&ar=35)

I would love the BF Goodrich g force T/A’s but at 656 shipped I dont think it would be worth it in my situation

I’m afraid I don’t know any good non-autox stereo equipment tires.

Why do I log on?

Really just wondering how the nankangs will last compared to the falkens or any other name brand tire.

215/35? I didn’t know they still made that horrible size. Kiss your wheels good-bye.
