Im in extreme need for tires...got 18s sitting in the garage waiting to be wrapped in rubber. Money is very limited. Ive seen Nexen, Nankang, Wanli, Kumho and these Essenza Type R. I did some research on the Essenza and they r made by goodyear. I know somebody is gonna say somethin must be wrong with em cuz they say "Type R.".... lol. Anyways Ive read mixed opinions on Nexen(heard they were put on german cars??) Nankang and Wanli. I know kumho is a reputable tire however they r a tad more expensive that the others. So im leaning towards the essenza....anybody have any experience with em?? please any opinions on any of these tires would be appreciated...
