Counterfeit tires from China? Say it ain't so!

Shocker. I will admit that I was considering some $80 Nankangs as a street tire for my E46M3 to get me to and from the track but glad my sense kicked in.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
