I have the Nankangs and they seem pretty good so far. Once I fininsh my clutch I should be able to abuse them better! And for about $112/ea shipped to Hawaii, one of the better deals.

Have a friend with a Daily Driver Mini - We installed Nankings over a year ago and the wear so far is great and the ride is Nice. Would go for Nankings again knowing they are well for DD duty.

 

Dunlops might be a bit more sporty - but no side by side by side compare. 

Price of the nanking is proactive to -give em a try! 

I have the dunlops now. Seem ok for daily use but I won't get them again. Mine came a little out of round and my tire guy had a hard time seating and balancing. I don't know if it was how they were shipped or if they just came like that. I may try the Nankang next but will probably go back to Yoko A539. It's the best all around 13 I've use so far but $$.
