Default WANLI tires, any good?

Hello guys,

Friend of mine just purchased wheels and tires package from Wheelnext.com.

He asked for NEXEN N5000 for his tires but they send him a WANLI tires instead.

He contacted the seller and asked about the returned it but they said WANLI is just as good as NEXEN.

Well... I know they are both cheap tires but I had a NEXEN tires before and
it was good tires for the money~! 4 sets of tires for 499.00 on ebay(19).

They asked him to send the wheels back to them with free shipping but he wants to put the wheel on his car like ASAP!!!! (you know how that feel)

Should we return it or just use it? I googled it but people say good things and bad things about WANLI.

I wanna ask to experts!!!! CLUBLEXUS member!!

I used both tires and I will tell you that name wise Nexen is better than wanly.
all the wanly tires I used and sold were crap.

comparing apples to apples the better Wanly compares to the nexen N5000, but the nexen N5000 is a crap tire as far as grip and quality in my personal experience as a driver and tire dealer... but they las a good wile when they dot crap out.

I seen both Wanly (most wanly models )and Nexen N5000 crack on the side wall after a few thousand miles. the nexen N3000 does not crack on the wall and is a better tire but it could use a bit more grip.

I would rather buy a Jap tire 1st (Yokohama, Falken, Nitto, Toyo, etc) if not then a Korean tire (Hankook, Nexen, Kumho, etc)
