vs
Tires NANKANG or RIKEN
The nankangs are very good track tires. Many experienced professionals like misha charoudin swear by them.
Pros: very good track tires
Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.
They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.
Pros: great tires
I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.
Pros: great grip, durable
Cons: grip needs warm up
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: NS-2RS
I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.
Pros: holding up so far
Licna preporuka za neku budget gumu je Riken, odlicna po suhom, drzi nenormalno po suhom, nesto slabija po mokrom.
Pros: odlicna po suhom
Cons: slabija po mokrom
I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)
Cons: suffer more in rain
These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).
Cons: chunked away, rings of cords
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.
Pros: wears well on track
Cons: tricky balance, not best wet
I’ve been running Riken Raptor ZR A/S tires since I got my WRX just over a year ago and FINALLY got my hands on a set of Blizzaks. I’m excited to see how they handle any future snows here in Colorado Springs. We just had a good bit of snow dumped on us this past week and the all seasons were definitely showing signs of needing replacement.
Cons: needing replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
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
