i currently have the nankang ns-2 tires on my 18s on my tib right now. They have good traction on dry roads. I had the toyo proxes f24 before the Nankangs and I think the nankangs are better since the Nankangs have a small lip protector for the rims. its a great deal too!

I have nankang. Not a bad tire. Make sure they are 100 percent tread. You dont want to get jacked for 30 percent tread on tires like I did when I bought my rims/tires off ebay.

I've had my share of tires. Nankangs...Falkens....and even some Pirellis. Honestly the nankangs are by far the best. Good tread life...great traction in dry....good in wet. And yeah the lip protector is nice too!
