vs
Tires NANKANG or GOODRIDGE
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
I had them on the c5s, drove them prettybhard in all sorts of weather and they were great,.. But at the first sigh of snow they were horrible, barely made it home with a 1/4 in of snow.. Dry wet however was great and to me they seemed silent..
Pros: great in dry/wet weather, silent
Cons: horrible in snow
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
Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
Pros: were nice thru February
Cons: cabin is loud as hell
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
Cons: wore way to fast
