The Nankang price almost makes them worth trying out. With such a low treadwear rating they'd have to stick pretty well.
And a good tire is a good tire. Drivetrain layout won't affect a quality tire in any significant way. Grip is grip.

I agree. That being said awd and rwd can get more traction out of a lesser tire. At least from a launching perspective. They are a descent price so they are worth trying out the question is would it be worth spending a little more for allot more tire? Or are they pretty comperable.

From what I've read people say they're comparable to other DOT comp tires and better than the Federal RSR's. They do need heat to really perform very well.
Did better than expected in the rain. They are still a comp tire.
Local shop said he could have them mounted for $190 a corner. That's without showing him the Canadian online retailers price and would have to inquire on shipping.

I bought bridgestone potenzia RE71-R just before winter when Costco had a $70 rebate
Came to $705 after tax (before costcos $60 mounting) for 225/45-17
But I care about corner grip, unlike the rest of you :p
