Tires NANKANG or WANLI
I've been buying my nankang tires directly from the EU branch: https://www.nankang.eu/ Fast shipping.
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.
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.
They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.
Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.
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
I have nankang econex on my 2006 twingo. But since i barely drive it, it's just fine.
I have a shitbox I daily drive in the city (an old Hyundai Accent). I don't want to spend too much money on its tires so I bought a set of 185/55r15 Wanli Harmonics for only around 170 USD including mounting and balancing. I've driven 6000 miles on it so far.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Noisy, doesn't have that much grip (I can do a front wheel burnout now with 140hp lol), wears out quickly (I've already shaved maybe 20% of its tread)
Cheapest brand I ever used was the Nankang NS-2, understeered everywhere and wore out in 2 years
Can't speak to an Elantra N, but on my GT86 they were very noisy and very uncomfortable.
