My new wheels just came mounted and balanced with Wanli S1088 tires (part of a blowout package deal), but I'm wondering if I should switch them out. I searched the board and found that some people have used them, but many haven't even heard of them. They're a Chinese brand of tire and the only negative I've really read is that they're a little noisy, but they're actually suppose to grip decently. Has anyone had any personal experience with these tires? I'm debating on whether or not I should switch them out for either Falken 912s or Toyo Proxes. Obviously, Falken and Toyo are name brands and a better choice, but that also means throwing down another $400. So, my question to those who have tried these, what do you think? Will the tires work just fine, or should I try and scounge up $400?

 

wanli's suck, switch them out asap

What makes these tires suck so badly? I haven't been able to find much info on what is so bad about them (traction, treadwear, grip, etc.) The biggest complaint I hear is that they're an offbrand Chinease tire, but that's about it, no one says what's actually bad about them.

 

they're very cheap chinese tires, they can literally rip to shreads with no warning.

 

..... plus the high levels of lead in them....

 

Well, I decided to upgrade my tires to the Falken 912s. I got a pretty good price on them at Discount Tire. Probably a safer bet if the Wanlis are that much of a problem. Maybe I'll throw the Wanli's on craigs list....

 

or the trash....

 

lol, that bad, huh
