vs
Tires NANKANG or VITOUR
We have Vitour Galaxy tires on our car. They are affordable and work very good. We have a 1979 230 and the stock size there would be 175SR14. The closest I could find with white stripes was the Vitour tires in 185/80-14. They are a little bit taller than the stock size and fill out the wheel opening a little bit more, but I like how it looks and drives.
Pros: affordable, work very good, good looks, good drive
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
Pros: solid wheel spin
Cons: needs drag radials
Replaced my OE Pirelli P-Zeros for Nankang CS-R tires! Super grippy and wonderful feedback!
The P-Zeros only lasted 6k miles on aggressive camber. I hope the Nankangs last close to that, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Pros: super grippy, wonderful feedback
Cons: short lifespan (Pirelli)
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 6000 km
They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.
Pros: cheap, good as main brands, no problems
I'm on vitour p1's right now. Its a very fast tire that doesn't melt like the a052, but its still a super 200 tread life wise.
Pros: very fast, doesn't melt
Cons: super 200 tread life
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C5
O meu carro tem 300cv e tenho esses nankang precisamente nesse modelo. Já vou no 2 par, antes tinha uns yokohama e também tive hankook e sinceramente a diferença é quase nula...
Pros: diferença é quase nula
I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.
Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ
Pros: V-rated tire
Cons: DOT approval uncertain
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I am in my first set of NS2R tw180, all I can tell is that this tyre feels difficult to warm and easy to surpase optimal working window but, it's good for the value
Pros: good for the value
Cons: difficult to warm, easy to surpass optimal window
Just stay away from nankang. I’ve had nothing but issues with them
Cons: nothing but issues
Nokian OK. Nankang é lixo. Compra os Nokian entre esses 2.
Pros: Nokian OK
Cons: Nankang é lixo
