    So your all asking what kind of people drive these cars?

    I would like to draw your attention to the first image, on the tyrewall is definately written the "kang" of the classic Nankang ditchfinder tyre, so clearly these people simply can't afford to get the tyre of the right size and opt for the smaller cheaper alternative

    Not technically right. Nankang stretch alot nicer than some other tyres and don't distort. As they are cheap it's no big sacrifice when they do end up scrubbed to death, worn massively on the inner walls or shredded by the arches.

    And that second pic shows my point exactly, the tyres arent running on the road properly, you can tell by the skidmark, it looks like something left by a pushbike, btw, rwd converted im guessing as i thought those cerika's were fwd?

    What he said. The boy who had my schmidts before me had nankangs on for that reason.

    I can upload a pic of the fronts that were run with extreme camber for anyone who wants to see.
    A little looks okay. but when they try stretch a 195/45 onto a 9j rim its just ridiculous and actually illegal.
