Tires Firestone or NANKANG
Firestone winterforce 2 tires are great with snow, and drive somewhat close to a regular tire in the cold too.
Nankang NS-20, super easy to stretch and had no problems with them. also quite cheap (for the size i got them in)
I've just got some Firestone all-season tires on mine. Nothing fancy. They did *surprisingly* well in a half-foot of snow.
I drive Firestone Firehawk Sport on my e53 amg, it’s really good tires, is it better then Michelin? No, but for the money it’s pretty good and does job well, never had an oversteer or understeer keeps to road really well.
Nankang NS2-R is best bang for buck track tyre hands down.
It’s marginally slower than most other semi-slicks, but it will last longer, it will be faster than any premium road tyre on track.
That being said, the CR-S is an incredible tire if your focus is driving on dry tracks. I found wear to be good with very consistent laptimes, it doesn‘t overheat easily, which is something I very much enjoy. Being able to push for many laps with the tire staying consistent and predictable is quite a treat if you ask me. Performance in the wet however isn‘t really good.
The tires I currently have are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, which were on the car when I bought it. For my use case I generally like them, with one exception: wet weather performance. Even though moderate NorCal doesn't see too many rainy days, I've felt myself losing traction/hydroplaning on quite a few occasions. If it weren't for this issue, I could easily see myself just replacing them with another set of Firehawks and calling it a day
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.
Nokian OK. Nankang é lixo. Compra os Nokian entre esses 2.
Do NOT buy Firestone Tigerpaws. Under the blue white wall protection is a 1" "whitewall" that the carbon in the rubber penetrates right thru. They are tobacco brown in just a few days. Garbage product.
