Tires Nexen or NANKANG
They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.
I have a set of them. I have no complaints with them. They ride smoothly and are not noisy. A great tire for daily driving and in the rain. For the price, they are a nice tire.
I’ll probably end up with another set of Nankang AR-1s next.
I have 3 sets of wheels+tires.
Nankang NS-2R for track on Teamdynamics
Nankang worked well for me
I have nankang ar1s on my mclaren 12c. Great track tire
Skratka, gume sem prodal (in imel zraven moralnega mačka, ker sem prodal nekaj kar je lahko življenjsko nevarno) in dost na pamet kupil Nexen. Za enkrat po nekih 10k kilometrih nimam pripomb. V sneg so šle lepo, na mokrem in suhem pa grejo v ovinek kot po tirnicah.
I got a set on some wheels I traded. I think NS7000 is on the sidewall. They are alright, they are round and black. I haven't had a flat and I go into the uber crappy Boston roads all the time, no bubbles no tread defects. They are just run of the mill budget tires. Would I get them again? Probably not. Can I find anything to complain about? Not really.
I had nankang before. Stupid loud and didn't last long at all.
Expect lots of ***-***-*** noise as they wear. The NS2 on one of my previous cars got so loud that it became unbearable.
