Tires NANKANG or WEST LAKE
I ran a pair of 225/45-15 CRS this year. Good grip, didn't mind getting hot, wore quickly.
Pros: good grip
Cons: wore quickly
The winter sw606 are actually really good winter tires. Somebody mentioned Florida so maybe that's where you are, but I'm in canada and I'm on my third set of westlake winter tires lol they're boss for snow.
Pros: boss for snow
Nankang NS-2R. Semislick tyre made for endurance.
With one set of this I made more than 1.000km on track.
And they are cheap.
Pros: cheap, made for endurance
Mileage: 1000 km
I had a set of Nankang NS-25 UHP tires on my mazda 3 turbo sedan. They were great tires and handled really well. Got about 30k miles out of them. I was pretty pleased, they even did alright in snow.
Pros: great tires, handled well
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 48280 km
So to create some perspective, my AR1’s on a small light car (Miata), lasted for 5 track days. Assuming an average of 20 mins per session, and around four sessions in morning and four in afternoon, we can assume I’m doing around 160 minutes or driving per day. So in theory I put 13 hours on those tyres!
Pros: lasted for 5 track days
Cons: need to cool down
Vehicle:
Mazda
I used Westlake tires on an old car I drove in high school, like others are saying there basic economy tires, are they best? Of course not. Will they get you to where you need to go? Yup.
Pros: will get you there
Cons: not the best
The Westlakes are an Off Brand, they are cheap and you get what you pay for, but they are decent have sold lots of these with no issues.
Pros: decent, no issues
Cons: cheap, off brand
Needing 4 new tires in my 2014 Honda Civic. Got quoted 400 mounted and balanced for a set of west lake tires.
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
My i3 had nank’s. I destroyed the rears in less that 10k km.
Pros: Grippy!
Cons: Worn out quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
I knew I fucked up immediately after get 2 Westlake front tires for my Honda Civic because of how cheap it is. As soon as these fuckers are worn out, it’s quality from now on.
Cons: cheap, bad quality
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
