I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.
It comes wrapped with a new-ish set of Nitto Nomaf Grappler size 235/60-18 excellent for a Q3 or Q5 fitment. Nitto tires made in the USA and are mild A/T tires. Has 3PMSF certification. Only driven less than 3000 miles before deciding to go full 20” on my Q5.
I've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.
I ran a pair of 225/45-15 CRS this year. Good grip, didn't mind getting hot, wore quickly.
If you're only buying one set of all seasons year round then nitto neo gen are really good value.
I've got those same tires and I love them. I'll be getting another set of them when this set is through.
These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).
I bought new Nittos and custom wheels that were about 1-1/2” bigger diameter. Each step looked better, and it looks really great now - except now its a little over-the-top, and my mileage is kind of terrible.
Nitto tires are horrible. Dont waste your money. They offer no warentes, they are not snow rated, they are just a terrible made in china over priced tire.
Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.
