vs
Tires NANKANG or MRF
MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:
Pros: MT71s are good
Vehicle:
Toyota Tercel
Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.
Pros: work well in heat
Cons: more pace than V730
Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.
Pros: remote job sites
You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.
I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.
The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.
Pros: insane grip, improved braking
Nankang are cheap budget tires. They might have ran out of money recently and have been cutting corners on maintenance.
Pros: cheap budget tires
Cons: cutting corners
We had a similar situation with kia ev. The left front tyre at night got punctured (sharp cut, we suspect it was due to impact of the pothole) due to a massive pothole in National highway that was invisible at night. The tyre went flat in 5 seconds.
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 10000 km
Nannkang NS20 is the cheapest tire that's good enough you won't think about it
Pros: good enough, cheapest tire
My MRF tyre bursted too in rain on a pothole about the height of 10 cm. MRF Quality is dogshit
Cons: dogshit quality
Vehicle:
Suzuki
I'll steer clear of mrf. You have much better options out there. Their wet grip is horrible
Pros: better options out there
Cons: wet grip is horrible
I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.
Cons: started to split
Vehicle:
MINI
