Actually that would be China
But yes Nankang is a Taiwanese product and most of their line is manufactured there. I haven't heard of any problems with them and they're quite popular through the discount shops here, but you do get what you pay for so it's a matter of expectations and previous experience as to whether a particular driver would like them or not.

I had them and they lasted two months maximum before they became undriveable. Never again for me. They were on a 2004 Nissan Maxima. Good thing I purchased them from the Nissan Dealer and they replaced them with another brand for no charge.

I had a set (225/40/18) on my E36 and they were great. Good grip, aggressive tread design, great in the wet, and the quietiest tires I ever had to the end. I think they are great for the price. I'm on my second set on my Acura. I got a set (225/40/18) for $256!!!! ...bargain for what you get. Now compare that with the Nitto Invo's I have on my iForge Daytona's. I have had nothing but problems with those. I have had my wheels balance and rotated 5 times and still had terrible vibrations due to the tires. The rears are ok now but the fronts are being replaced. Give them a try. They are not track tires but a terriffic all season tire!

I was under the impression that Nankang produces all of their own?

I just talked to my buddy again with the 20" on his 335i and he said that he has no complaints at all. in wet or dry. Drives 90 m/h with zero issues or vibrations. The set of 235/35-19 and 275/30-19 swapping the TPMS and mounted and balanced with taxes out the door will be $577.80 so can you go wrong??? I don't think so...
