Tires NANKANG or Hifly
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 have nankang ar1s on my mclaren 12c. Great track tire
Pros: great track tire
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
