My tires were actually 25 years old, but it's possible that they've 
been bad for the last 10 years.

It's hard to imagine that all Nankang tires could be that bad. I'd 
think that anyone who sold them would be willing to stand behind them 
if they had problems, or would stop selling them.

I think Coker makes their own tires, but sometimes on molds purchased 
from the original makers.
