vs
Tires NANKANG or Barum
I have nankang ar1s on my mclaren 12c. Great track tire
Pros: great track tire
I have Nankang NS-25s on mine. Less than $100 each, and even with a Malone Stage 2 setup, it only spins the tires a little bit. Dry handling is surprisingly good as well. They put up with northern Illinois winters well enough, and are just fine in the rain. Not too much road noise either.
Pros: good dry handling, low noise
I have been using Barum tires with no complaints. They perform well on my 2012 W204 and cost a lot less than Michelin / Pirelli / Continental /etc
Pros: good performance, low cost
yes really, quiet, grips just fine for a daily driver golf, and cheap ($224 for the set) I spent more money on my first set of tires, and realized i didn't need them. These fit my need perfectly.
Pros: quiet, grips just fine
Cons: cheap
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I've been impressed with the Nankang NS-2R in 120tw and in 180tw. Would definitely recommend giving them a go if you burn through tires quickly. 265/35/18 120tw on the TSW worked very well and I ran them on the street between events. Strong sidewalls, even better than the RS3 at the limits, and very durable.
Pros: strong sidewalls, very durable
Cons: burn through tires quickly
I have Nankang Toursport 611's and they work brilliant in the dry and acceptable in the wet And w/ a 500 tread wear rating, they have like a 50,000 mile warranty.
Pros: brilliant in the dry
Cons: acceptable in the wet
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
i have them too. they run skinny and stretch well. they are a little noisy though.
Pros: stretch well, run skinny
Cons: a little noisy
I had both ns2 and 512 on my 17x9 both were 205/45. The nankangs were decent but didn't give me the stretch I wanted like the falkens
Pros: decent tires
Cons: less stretch than Falken
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
Cons: wore way to fast
I had General's in that size on my old GTI. Awesome tires, but they've gone way up in price since then. After that, I had a set of the Nankangs. Crap tires and the road noise drove me insane. Would not recommend.
Pros: awesome tires (General)
Cons: crap tires (Nankang), insane road noise
