I got the metric sized radials from Nankang last year 165/R 15, the model
number was N812. I got to put about 500 miles on them but the performed
just fine, the tread pattern is very much like the XZX's.

My next set of tires will be in the summer of 2010 when the Michelin XZXs
are retired. Expect the Kuhmos to disappear by then.
As a service to the community I will avoid jinxing Vredesteins... instead my
next victim will be Nankang, who have branded their 165/80x15s: "GeoStar".
No joke:
