wanli's I hear are not that good. I have also experienced hancook and they are nice tires. They're not toyo's or yokohama's, but they are nice. I'm about to order 4 275/40/20 hancook ventus ST RHO6 all season tires for my parent 2006 cayenne turbo. The tires on it are continental's, but they're not all season, and in virginia you definately need all season. Go with hancook, they're good. If I'm willing to put them on $105k truck, ur z will do just fine.

I tried Wanli tires the day before yesterday. S-1099, the Yokohama copies.
SUCKS!!!!!!
They are like riding on mud tires. They roar like a set of BF Goodrich TA KO tires. They corner like tires made of cheese. Sidewalls are not very stiff.
I have never heard a set of street tires sound sooooo loud. And they have that out of balance feel like huge mud tires.
Danger Will Robinson!!! Danger!!!!

Never get Wanli's.
They are some cheapo knock-offs made from China. Do yourself a favor and get something better. You don't wanna bet your life on a set of cheap tires.

Hankook is the largest tire manufacturer in Korea. I'm currently running their race tires Z211 and they are great! (nice and cheap) Some ppl even comment that they are better than the RA-1 in terms of grip
