Tires OEM Audi or NANKANG
MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:
Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.
Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.
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.
Nankang are cheap budget tires. They might have ran out of money recently and have been cutting corners on maintenance.
Drove the car in the snow storm over the weekend. Did not feel safe with the summer tires on. Also, front windshield wipers froze. Had to pull over twice to scrape the ice off the front windshield. Otherwise a nice SUV. Comfortable and very powerful. Time will tell about the reliability. Cheers
Aside from eating tires and brakes like they’re crabby patties, we’ve had zero issues on the car. Tires seem to go every 25 - 30K miles and we seem to be changing front brakes every 25K and rears at every 30K.
That is 25% of your contact with the road, and from the look of the breaks, a sporty car so a lot of power going down on that wheel. I would change immediately
Mot fail. Change it
Had one almost identical and changed it immediately, not worth the risk and unlikely to pass MOT.
