vs
Tires NANKANG or Barum
I usually go for Nankang SW-8, as they are really cheap for how good they feel.
Pros: cheap, good feel
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
Nankang ns2 is really good!
Pros: really good
Nankang ns2/ns2r, lotta bang for the buck
Pros: lotta bang for buck
Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.
Pros: perfect off road, no slippage
Cons: Nankang does not recommend
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 15000 km
The CRS tires hold there grip very well thru out the life of the tire. They can come to heat cycled from the shop but these do work better if you heat cycle them per their instructions before your track day.
Pros: hold grip very well
I've been on CRS V1's all year and commute to the track about 130 miles in one direction. I'm getting 20 lapping sessions out of these tires before they start to degrade.
Pros: 20 lapping sessions
Cons: degrade after 20 sessions
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II
Pros: stretch well, last long
Cons: noisy when worn
nankang is not bad just probably a bit of road noise
Pros: not bad
Cons: 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
