vs
Tires NANKANG or Achilles
Just picked up a set of Achilles Touring A/S sent to a local installer, under $400 all told.
Pros: good price
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
Pros: solid wheel spin
Cons: needs drag radials
Replaced my OE Pirelli P-Zeros for Nankang CS-R tires! Super grippy and wonderful feedback!
The P-Zeros only lasted 6k miles on aggressive camber. I hope the Nankangs last close to that, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Pros: super grippy, wonderful feedback
Cons: short lifespan (Pirelli)
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 6000 km
They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.
Pros: cheap, good as main brands, no problems
Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.
Pros: best value, lasts longer, better drop off
O meu carro tem 300cv e tenho esses nankang precisamente nesse modelo. Já vou no 2 par, antes tinha uns yokohama e também tive hankook e sinceramente a diferença é quase nula...
Pros: diferença é quase nula
I am in my first set of NS2R tw180, all I can tell is that this tyre feels difficult to warm and easy to surpase optimal working window but, it's good for the value
Pros: good for the value
Cons: difficult to warm, easy to surpass optimal window
Take it from someone who for the first 15 years of driving spent the big bucks on Conti DWS/Michelin Pilot's/Goodyear Assurances/ Pirelli P Zero's/Hankook Ventus etc. At least two dozen sets.
All a waste of money unless you are well off. I am by no means poor anymore but I started running the super generics about 8 years ago, Achilles Desert Hawk's, Gladiator XT's, Westlake's, Lexani's and now Lionhart's.
No they are not as good as the name brands, but every day driving you and 99% of people can't tell and you will naturally acclimate to whatever the limits are over time while saving 60-75% off buying name brand if you really take your time and shop around.
I've towed my 8000lb camper around the country, through the Rockies with some of these generics.
Pros: save 60-75% money
Cons: not as good as name brands
Nokian OK. Nankang é lixo. Compra os Nokian entre esses 2.
Pros: Nokian OK
Cons: Nankang é lixo
Cheapest brand I ever used was the Nankang NS-2, understeered everywhere and wore out in 2 years
Cons: understeered everywhere, wore out
Part number: NS-2
