vs
Tires NANKANG or VITOUR
Nankang ns2/ns2r, lotta bang for the buck
Pros: lotta bang for buck
Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.
Pros: perfect off road, no slippage
Cons: Nankang does not recommend
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 15000 km
The CRS tires hold there grip very well thru out the life of the tire. They can come to heat cycled from the shop but these do work better if you heat cycle them per their instructions before your track day.
Pros: hold grip very well
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.
Pros: 20 lapping sessions
Cons: degrade after 20 sessions
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
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.
Pros: good, cheap, can take beating
Cons: without shredding to bits
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.
When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.
Pros: cheap and available
Cons: not the best tire
215 on a 9.5.. i must however say that falken 512s stretch much better than these(although i was happy with how my nankangs looked on the c5's)
Pros: happy with the look
Cons: less stretch than Falken
Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
Pros: were nice thru February
Cons: cabin is loud as hell
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
Cons: wore way to fast
