vs
Tires NANKANG or IRONMAN
I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.
Pros: holding up so far
I myself drive Nankang AS2+ with the dimensions: 235/35 R19.
Apart from the less direct steering and a driving profile that is a little more geared towards comfort, I am very satisfied.
I have a great grip feeling and the rim protection is slightly wider than with the nexen nfera su1.
Pros: great grip feeling
Cons: less direct steering
Look at the NANKANG line. Start at NS2R. I use them on my Exige. But use a softer compound. If you need “more”, the AR1 are THE ones to take. But there is a new Kid on the block. NANKANG CRS. For that amount of monney, you wil hardly find a better tire.
Pros: better tire
Cons: softer compound
I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.
Pros: never lost grip
Cons: a bit louder
Vehicle:
Renault Twingo
I've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.
Pros: felt pretty good
These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).
Cons: chunked away, rings of cords
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.
Pros: wears well on track
Cons: tricky balance, not best wet
In my limited experience with them i'd say that they are marginally better than Toyo's r888r over a single lap but require some tuning set up to not overheat.
Pros: marginally better than Toyo
Cons: require tuning, overheat
Avoid all Chinese crap. They’re complete shit, I’ve never hydroplaned a car before but I have on IronMan tires because of how bad they are.
Cons: hydroplaned a car
Just had this happen (don’t buy Ironman tires) it eventually popped on the way home from a long day of work. Wish I hadn’t waited to address it sooner
Cons: eventually popped
