^ Depends which nankangs. I don't particulaly rate Michelins. They go out of shape too easily considering how much they cost.
Falkan ZE192's are a nice cross between price and performance, but they can wear quickly on some cars.
15" Yoko Parada Spec 2's are cheap, but they wear out pretty quick, and aren't very nice in standing water.

There is a Wiki list, but it needs a lot more suggestions:

Was running Hankooks until 2 years ago, more than happy with them, but was told they were on back order and couldn't tell me when they would be available again.
Now running Yokahamas on the recommendation of several zoners. Seem to be pretty good.

Uniroyal Rainmaster for me. As you'd expect they are in a class of their own in the wet but also v good in the dry. Possibly not as hard wearing as some, and they don't look very sexy, but top tyres.
Can be £100 plus each, but I got mine on Kwik-Fit online pre-booking for about £70 odd.
Also, Maxxis are a good budget choice.

Two headblenders, couple of bags of MC Hammer, 5 litres of FFF, a 48ft bastard, a box of jumped-up custard and some soggy chimps
