Tires NANKANG or PHANTOM
I've been on CRS V1's all year and commute to the track about 130 miles in one direction. I'm getting 20 lapping sessions out of these tires before they start to degrade.
Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.
So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.
Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.
Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.
I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.
NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.
a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II
I had nankang before. Stupid loud and didn't last long at all.
Expect lots of ***-***-*** noise as they wear. The NS2 on one of my previous cars got so loud that it became unbearable.
