Tires NANKANG or Vredestein
Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.
They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.
I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.
I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.
I myself drive Nankang AS2+ with the dimensions: 235/35 R19.
Apart from the less direct steering and a driving profile that is a little more geared towards comfort, I am very satisfied.
I have a great grip feeling and the rim protection is slightly wider than with the nexen nfera su1.
Moved on from the run flats to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. No run flats, no bubbles, and a SIGNIFICANT improvement in ride and noise. Seriously, switch away from these tires and you will only regret not doing it sooner
Put a set of Vredestein Hitracs on my mom's CX5 and she loves them. Quiet and excellent in the rain.
The Vredestein Quatrac Pros on the HRV were the best all around tire I've had and I'm pissed they discontinued them in the size I need. Very quiet, 90% of real snow tire performance.
I chose the Vredestein Quatrac Pro's for my wife's ML350 4Matic. Quiet, handle well (for a beast that heavy) and good in the wet.
The brand is positioned in the middle tier in its home market, and the Quatrac Pro is its most popular all-season tire. In Dutch tire tests it tends to end up at the bottom of the rankings, but it’s a popular choice regardless because of its cost and the fact that it’s a comfortable tire that wears pretty well.
We no longer sell or recommend vredestein. Saw a lot of issues with tread wear and blow outs on 40 series or less sidewall.
