Tires NANKANG or SUNNY
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

Porsche Cayman
The Nankangs are good
Pros: are good
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
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 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

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
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
I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.
Cons: awful wet traction
