a woman totalled my friend's car so he's giving me his tires for free they are
NanKang 205/40R17/84H are these good tires ( disregard the price ) and are they appropiate for my celi? I don't know about tires, so any info would be great.

thanks.

I don't know nothig about NanKang brand , 205/40R17 84H are not bad... however 215/40R17, 225/40R17 or 205/45R17 should fit (IMHO) better...

Let's say it straight: I wouldn't buy them myself, but get them for free... hmmm

too small... 215/40/17 would be the smallest I'd go... no wider than 225 and no taller than 45 series...

Shoot they're free....take them! At least you'll have back up tires just in case anything happens you know! Or you can always sell them and make some $$$ for yourself!

Nankangs are actually underrated tires. They sound cheap at first but I was surprised to see them rated number 4 for drift competition. The top was federal and yokohamas were even #16. So that says alot about those tires. Ive been running Nankangs for almost a year now.

^ so not so bad after all, plus they are like new, well I should say the have like 90 miles on it. makes me feel bad about my friend's loss ( he didn't even enjoy his new car ) but well he got the money back from the insurance company and I got free tires so I think everybody is happy.

I got the tires at home already they are mounted on AKUSA 4 x 100 so I'm just waiting for my wheels to swap them up.

yes I have the rims they are AKUSA 4 x 100, one of them it's damaged from the accident another one is just scratch the other two are just dirty. I'll get pics of those wheels when I get home as well as pics of my wheels ( they are not mounted yet, I'm looking for spacers )

id be carefull with a 205/40 size tire.
i've had nothing but bad luck with that size, potholes KILL those fast.
just not enough meat.
but hell, for free, i'd take 3 sets! =)
id just start saving for a bigger size..i havent blown a tire since i went to the 215/40s.

With a 225 width tyre you really need to have a 7.5J rim. Otherwise they look "blown up" (dont know correct english word for it)
