vs
Tires NANKANG or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.
Pros: best value, lasts longer, better drop off
Nankang NS-20, super easy to stretch and had no problems with them. also quite cheap (for the size i got them in)
Pros: easy to stretch, no problems, cheap
Nankang NS2-R is best bang for buck track tyre hands down.
It’s marginally slower than most other semi-slicks, but it will last longer, it will be faster than any premium road tyre on track.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: marginally slower
That being said, the CR-S is an incredible tire if your focus is driving on dry tracks. I found wear to be good with very consistent laptimes, it doesn‘t overheat easily, which is something I very much enjoy. Being able to push for many laps with the tire staying consistent and predictable is quite a treat if you ask me. Performance in the wet however isn‘t really good.
Pros: consistent laptimes, doesn't overheat
Cons: performance in wet bad
These tires wear like iron for me. They're fantastic.
Pros: fantastic, wear like iron
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
I drive a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, at almost 100k miles and basically no issues outside of tire maintenance. Subaru AWD is top tier as well
Pros: top tier AWD, no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 160934 km
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
I have a set of Nankangs on my Ghia. They are a decent tire, but don't expect tons of grip from them, and they're pretty hard.
Pros: decent tire
Cons: not tons of grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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.
Pros: decent on asphalt
Cons: not top tier on concrete
My i3 had nank’s. I destroyed the rears in less that 10k km.
Pros: Grippy!
Cons: Worn out quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
