Tires NANKANG or Achilles
I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.
Pros: stretches really well
Cons: unsure availability
So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.
Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.
Pros: consistent, good feedback
Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.
Pros: good price, good quality
Vehicle:
Honda
Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.
Pros: mid range, more than enough
Cons: avoid budget tyres
Vehicle:
Citroen C1
Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.
Pros: Nankang CRS hands down
Have a buddy that owns a tire shop and ran these for a a few years to put his money where his mouth was since he was recommending them to his customers. He said they were no Michelins, but were well worth the price. Seemed to hold up pretty well and his only real complaint was noise. Moreso as they got on in age, but otherwise, he thought they were better than decent. :thumbup:
Pros: well worth price, held up well, better than decent
Cons: noisy, more so with age
I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.
Cons: bad road noise
I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.
Cons: wore quickly, uneven wear, hard when cold, noisy, no off-road traction, blowouts, punctures
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 15000 km
F'ing terrible compared to a reputable summer tire IMO.
Cons: terrible performance
