Tires NANKANG or Vredestein
You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.
I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.
The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.
We installed the Vredesteins on my son's Fusion, and they're awesome. He drove through near blizzard conditions in the UP without any problems last winter.
Nankang FT-9 tires have been awesome for me. I basically rally my little van out in the woods so I can attest to their durability.
They also handle pretty well on road.
And they are LT rated!
Check out Vredestein. I am currently running the Hypertrac all season and they are very good.
A very solid tire for the money. Just behind Michelin, Conti, Pirelli.
Last set I got was Verdenstein. I've been very happy with them. Reasonable price, great grip and surprisingly quiet on the highway.
Nannkang NS20 is the cheapest tire that's good enough you won't think about it
I've got these on my Tesla (Vredstein Wintrac Pro XL 235/40R-19) and I've been pretty underwhelmed by their performance in snow. Many of the reviews I read said they're more like halfway between an all-season tire and a true winter tire, and that feels about right to me, as they drive just fine in mild conditions but slide around a lot in the snow.
Dude, my set of nankang tires from week 44 2023, stored in a shipping container, are worse than this. Literally sidewall cracks all over. Tossed that shit out so fast...
I’m barely getting 10k out of my Vredestein tires that TireRack said would be as good as the name brand. They aren’t.
