Tires NANKANG or Achilles
Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.
They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.
Pros: great tires
I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.
Pros: great grip, durable
Cons: grip needs warm up
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: NS-2RS
I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.
Pros: holding up so far
Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.
Pros: zero problems
I myself drive Nankang AS2+ with the dimensions: 235/35 R19.
Apart from the less direct steering and a driving profile that is a little more geared towards comfort, I am very satisfied.
I have a great grip feeling and the rim protection is slightly wider than with the nexen nfera su1.
Pros: great grip feeling
Cons: less direct steering
These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).
Cons: chunked away, rings of cords
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.
Pros: wears well on track
Cons: tricky balance, not best wet
In my limited experience with them i'd say that they are marginally better than Toyo's r888r over a single lap but require some tuning set up to not overheat.
Pros: marginally better than Toyo
Cons: require tuning, overheat
I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.
Cons: terrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My i3 had nank’s. I destroyed the rears in less that 10k km.
Pros: Grippy!
Cons: Worn out quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
