vs
Tires NANKANG or Maxxis
I really like the CRS. Handles a bit more heat than most of the super 200 tires, but sticks way better than the endurance 200’s. Not good in the rain though.
Pros: sticks way better
Cons: not good in rain
The nankangs are very good track tires. Many experienced professionals like misha charoudin swear by them.
Pros: very good track tires
Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.
They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.
Pros: great tires
I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.
Pros: great grip, durable
Cons: grip needs warm up
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: NS-2RS
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 just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.
Pros: consistent through long sessions
Well, the Rekon races came highly regarded but my second day on one I flatted (rear tire). Maxxis claims it was a pinch flat. OK, maybe but it should have held up.
Pros: highly regarded
Cons: flatted rear tire
The aggressor is faster on hard pack but awful on mud. Dissector makes a better rear tire I think, it’s similar to the dhr but a little faster. Unless they’ve changed the tire, the cornering knobs tend to get shredded quickly.
Pros: faster on hard pack
Cons: awful on mud
Expect to go slower. DH is for downhill. My bike came with those and my God it was a slog on flat, rolling and uphill. And forget about accelerating out of turns.
Cons: slog on flat
Huh. When I try the DHF in back, the braking is just to unpredictable for me.
Cons: unpredictable braking
