vs
Tires NANKANG or Shinko
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
The Nankangs are good
Pros: are good
I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.
Pros: liked them fine
Tested on a 2018 AMG GT R in Porsche Ring, Audru, Estonia. So far I'm liking the CRS more. Price is the same as Cup 2, but it's faster and doesn't seem to be worse on street.
Pros: faster, good on street
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.
Pros: tempting price
Cons: not great in wet
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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.
Pros: faster than rs4
The crs were a bit pricey and didnt last long but they’re noticeable higher grip
Pros: noticeable higher grip
Cons: bit pricey, didnt last
Cheapest brand I ever used was the Nankang NS-2, understeered everywhere and wore out in 2 years
Cons: understeered everywhere, wore out
Part number: NS-2
Can't speak to an Elantra N, but on my GT86 they were very noisy and very uncomfortable.
Cons: very noisy, uncomfortable
Vehicle:
Toyota
