What size do you need? Nankang sounds like one of those Korean replica brands.

235/35/ 19 (2) and 265/30 19 (2). the reason why I ask is they are much cheaper than any other name brands.

If you pick the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 Blackwall from tire rack for both tires, you get

$498.00 for the rears
$388.00 for the fronts
$886.00 total.

I can't find the Nankang brand anywhere, for your safety and the cars, I wouldn't go for anything that I haven't heard of.

just call up any of the reputable stores in southern california. They will sell the Falkens, Nitto 555, or Kuhmo 712's with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 for $800.

I've had Falkens on an earlier car, they worked just fine, though near the end of the tread life they did get louder.
