vs
Tires NANKANG or Shinko
We also have good experience with Nankang on smaller cars. I have not tried them on bigger cars yet. They are a bit more noisy than the Vitour tires, but the white stripe on them seems to hold up a little bit better. But there is still no problem keeping them white.
Pros: white stripe holds better
Cons: a bit more noisy
I have them ony C5. They're actually not bad even when not up to temp. I just don't push them hard until I build some heat. On the street they're AOK as long as youre not stupid.
Pros: not bad even cold
Cons: push hard when cold
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I really like the CRS. Handles a bit more heat than most of the super 200 tires, but sticks way better than the endurance 200’s. Not good in the rain though.
Pros: sticks way better
Cons: not good in rain
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 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
Have driven on Noble Sport NS20. Is bad, wouldn't recommend for the price point.
Cons: bad, not recommended
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
