vs
Tires NANKANG or Maxxis
Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.
Pros: good price, good quality
Vehicle:
Honda
Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.
Pros: mid range, more than enough
Cons: avoid budget tyres
Vehicle:
Citroen C1
Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.
Pros: Nankang CRS hands down
I run Maxxis Razr AT’s. Highly recommend. Live in Washington so I get all kinds of weather. They’re killer in snow and rain. Smooth ride and look great
Pros: killer in snow, rain
Best all-round trail / enduro tires imho: Maxxis Minion DHF (front) and Minion DHR II (rear). I run 2.5 and 2.4, respectively. Get the WT (wide trail) variant if your rim inner width is 20+mm. Dual compound good for durability. The DHF has great breaking and turning control and last me 100+ hrs. The rear is great for techie climbs.
Pros: great breaking, turning control
Cons: Not super smooth for XC
I've ran a lot of tire brands and always have the best performance from Maxxis.
Pros: best performance
Once I got some Maxxis suited to my riding style/terrain it felt like a whole new bike!
Pros: felt like new bike
I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.
Pros: acceptable grip in dry
Cons: poor grip in rain
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I swapped out the primacy's with nankang ns-20s and I feel like the car is less responsive. For instance, when quickly changing lanes on the freeway I feel like the ride is more spongy. They're way better for traction, but I feel less agile.
Pros: better for traction
Cons: less responsive, more spongy
I had nankang before. Stupid loud and didn't last long at all.
Cons: stupid loud, didn't last long
