Update after driving to, on and back from the track - The grip is much greater than stock Hankooks, was a wet day but I still found the grip to be quite impressive. The brakes stayed cool without any signs of fade or losing brake feel.
I have them ony C5. They're actually not bad even when not up to temp. I just don't push them hard until I build some heat. On the street they're AOK as long as youre not stupid.
I really like the CRS. Handles a bit more heat than most of the super 200 tires, but sticks way better than the endurance 200’s. Not good in the rain though.
The nankangs are very good track tires. Many experienced professionals like misha charoudin swear by them.
Really liking my Falken Aklimates. I have had them about 9 months....summer/fall/rochester ny winter/ and a very wet spring. I got stuck in gnarly northern Kentucky tornado storms a week ago...super safe and planted in sketchy standing water situations surrounded by big rigs...these tires are so well balanced in Every condition. Def sticky enough for pushing it in twisties and carving big off-ramps and spirited city freeway missions. Getting 36+ mpg and I drive like a 16 yo more than I would like to admit.
Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.
They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.
Track setup installed! EBC Blue rear, IS2500 front, RS3 brake ducts, 18x9 +42 Superspeed Wheels with Falken Azenis RT615K+. Its flush af! And yes, Even though its a 200tw hard sidewall high noise tire, the ride is so much better than stock OEMs
I have a set of Nankang NS-2R that I'd throw in the Ok tier. Faster than my rs4 were for sure. They are turning out to be pretty consistent all the way to the cords.
The Falken tires they roll out of the factory suck, Falken as a brand in general isn’t bad. I went from Falken ZX-somethings to Falken Wildpeaks on my Crosstrek and it’s night and day.
I might be the only one that has these that’s sliding around on snow and ice. Just don’t have confidence out on the road, which is a crappy feeling to have. Especially ice - I immediately start slipping, even if going straight.
