Tires NANKANG or OEM FORD
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
What's your goal? To become a professional driver (regardless of it being profitable or not)? to find a new fun way to burn money? To live out a dream of driving a car you maybe can't afford on track? I did the drive an exotic before i had a car that was worth taking on track. It was a blast. I have more fun doing hpde now where I get significantly more track time (and get stuck with the cost of tires and rotors and brake pads and fixing things that break and trying to chase gremlins) . While the idea of racing is appealing the cost of racing is not but if that was a goal progressing towards a license and avoiding picking up any bad habits is your best bet.
Rotating tires, system checks, and topping off the windshield fluid.
One set of tires is my only out of pocket maintenance expense.
My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.
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.
I’ve seen mixed reviews of them. With some saying they aren’t great in the wet(acceptable but lacking when compared to others), other saying they wear really quickly.
I have a set of Nankang NS-2R that I'd throw in the Ok tier. Faster than my rs4 were for sure. They are turning out to be pretty consistent all the way to the cords.
Have driven on Noble Sport NS20. Is bad, wouldn't recommend for the price point.
Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.
