vs
Tires NANKANG or GISLAVED
I was not able to find falkens for the size I was looking so switched from Yoko a052 to Nankangs… very happy so far … was able to close the gap in my group by 3 seconds …
Pros: very happy so far
Cons: could not find falkens
I've run both. Both are good. I prefer the Falken overall due to the directness of the steering feel and how well I can place the car. Nankangs very easy to drive.
Pros: very easy to drive
They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.
Pros: best track tyre, lowest price
Cons: doesn't deal well wet
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I’ll probably end up with another set of Nankang AR-1s next.
Pros: good performance
Vehicle:
Porsche
I have 3 sets of wheels+tires.
Nankang NS-2R for track on Teamdynamics
Pros: good for track
Nankang worked well for me
Pros: worked well
215 on a 9.5.. i must however say that falken 512s stretch much better than these(although i was happy with how my nankangs looked on the c5's)
Pros: happy with the look
Cons: less stretch than Falken
I liked them when I had them. Dry and wet they were pretty good, in the snow...not so much.
Pros: good in dry/wet
Cons: not good in snow
I had Nankangs once. The only negative reviews I read just pointed out the excessive road noise. They drove me absolutely ****ing insane the entire time I had them on my car.
Cons: excessive road noise
My nankangs stretched pretty well. However, They suck in the rain. Like, scary bad. But you can do crazy burn-outs, because they don't grip for sh!t. You get what you pay for, in this case unfortunately.
Pros: stretched pretty well
Cons: suck in the rain
