I ran Nankangs on my 15's for about a year, and they were a great tire. Fairly inexpensive, but the treadwear (IMO) was no worse then a Nitto 450 or Toyo FZ4. Overall, I liked the tire. Good in the snow (however, not reccomended), rain, and dry.
I no longer have those tires, but that's not b/c I didn't want them, I just got a good deal on my Nitto 450's.
I also do have them on my 17's, and although I have not driven more then 150 mi. on those wheels in the last 2 yrs. I've owned them, I did like the stability, and lack of latteral roll from the tire. I'd go with them again without even batting an eye.
I've had Futura (PepBoys generics), Pirelli P700, Nankang, Toyo FZ4, and Nitto 450 on my car at one time or another (all on 15's; 205/50/15) and with the exception of the Nitto's in the dry heat, and the Futura's in the snow, I'd say no other tires stood out more then another to any great extent.
Hope that helps.

i work at a tire shop and even though we dom not sell them we did have 1 guy that bought them somewhere else and came to us with a harsh vibration problem, if you buy cheap tires chances are you are getting a shitty tire.
I had Nankangs on an ATC 20 years ago. I loved them!
