Never ever roll on cheap Chinese tires. They came on my new car.

So I bought a cls55amg 2 weeks ago. I bought it from a nurse that had a huge monthly payment and couldn't $wing it no more. The car is all most mint, no issues. well, with the exception of the tires. She ran over a pot hole and bought 2 new rims and put nankang n320's on it. These tires cost $130 each. I know, I googled it while I waited for the tow truck. Seems a lug wrench was not included in the purchase price of the car. I knew the tires were the cheapest thing she could put on it. The tire broke the bead for no reason. Got it pumped back up.no leaks. Drove it again, same damn thing. Fap fap fap. Glad I bought the scissors jack and universal lug wrench. Car is in my garage until my Conti extreme contact dws come in.
It should be a no brainer, and it was to me, never go cheap on tires.
The only good thing I can say about these chankang tires is they held up enough to not hurt the rims. Lucky I didn't wreck it or kill myself.
I had it on the freeway. Kept it under 80mph until I get familiar with her. Good thing I did.
