vs
Tires NANKANG or VITOUR
I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.
Pros: last longer, more consistent
Vehicle:
Porsche
The Nankangs are good
Pros: are good
I have these guys on my V8 SUV. Didn't give them much thought, was a good deal, and ride quality is much improved. Mine balanced fine and look pretty new after a year and almost 10,000km. I don't drag or track race, I'll floor it occasionally for a thrill and I drive probably 160km/h max on highways.
Pros: good deal, improved ride
Cons: sidewall flex too thin
Mileage: 10000 km
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’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
I tried P1s for autoX. P1s are in the hunt. They can keep up with competitive tires, but I think Yokes are probably a little bit better for overall. I'd give Yokes a slight advantage for forward bite, especially off the line and in cooler temperatures.
Pros: keep up with competitive tires
Cons: Yokes are probably better
Can't speak to an Elantra N, but on my GT86 they were very noisy and very uncomfortable.
Cons: very noisy, uncomfortable
Vehicle:
Toyota
Do not recommend unless you can get a lot of heat into them. even on warm days they would need some time to get grip. If you're in Alaska I could see them not working well for like 8 months out of the year, and they're really expensive too.
Cons: need time to get grip
