vs
Tires NANKANG or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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 was not able to find falkens for the size I was looking so switched from Yoko a052 to Nankangs… very happy so far … was able to close the gap in my group by 3 seconds …
Pros: very happy so far
Cons: could not find falkens
I've run both. Both are good. I prefer the Falken overall due to the directness of the steering feel and how well I can place the car. Nankangs very easy to drive.
Pros: very easy to drive
They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.
Pros: best track tyre, lowest price
Cons: doesn't deal well wet
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.
Pros: as-new condition
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 507 km
215 on a 9.5.. i must however say that falken 512s stretch much better than these(although i was happy with how my nankangs looked on the c5's)
Pros: happy with the look
Cons: less stretch than Falken
I liked them when I had them. Dry and wet they were pretty good, in the snow...not so much.
Pros: good in dry/wet
Cons: not good in snow
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
Cons: wore way to fast
I had General's in that size on my old GTI. Awesome tires, but they've gone way up in price since then. After that, I had a set of the Nankangs. Crap tires and the road noise drove me insane. Would not recommend.
Pros: awesome tires (General)
Cons: crap tires (Nankang), insane road noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
