vs
Tires NANKANG or IRONMAN
Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.
Pros: best value, lasts longer, better drop off
Nankang NS-20, super easy to stretch and had no problems with them. also quite cheap (for the size i got them in)
Pros: easy to stretch, no problems, cheap
I stretch 225/35/19 Ironman Gen 2s on 9.5 wides, they seem like they have more stretch to give too.
Pros: good stretch potential
Nankang NS2-R is best bang for buck track tyre hands down.
It’s marginally slower than most other semi-slicks, but it will last longer, it will be faster than any premium road tyre on track.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: marginally slower
That being said, the CR-S is an incredible tire if your focus is driving on dry tracks. I found wear to be good with very consistent laptimes, it doesn‘t overheat easily, which is something I very much enjoy. Being able to push for many laps with the tire staying consistent and predictable is quite a treat if you ask me. Performance in the wet however isn‘t really good.
Pros: consistent laptimes, doesn't overheat
Cons: performance in wet bad
I am in my first set of NS2R tw180, all I can tell is that this tyre feels difficult to warm and easy to surpase optimal working window but, it's good for the value
Pros: good for the value
Cons: difficult to warm, easy to surpass optimal window
I have nankang econex on my 2006 twingo. But since i barely drive it, it's just fine.
Pros: just fine
Vehicle:
Renault Twingo
CRS and AR1 are great track tyres and so use the AR1 myself.
However, what I think is their UHP road tyre, the NS2 is poor compared to Michelin/bridgestone/Continental offerings.
Pros: great track tyres
Cons: UHP road tyre poor
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
Cons: slipped in wet weather
Cheapest brand I ever used was the Nankang NS-2, understeered everywhere and wore out in 2 years
Cons: understeered everywhere, wore out
Part number: NS-2
