Tires OEM Audi or NANKANG
I've used the brand Nankang for a while they are cheap and i find them really good for a budget tyre
Pros: really good, budget tyre
Cons: cheap
If you don't care about money and want the fastest tire get the nankang crs v2s.
Pros: fastest tire
I usually go for Nankang SW-8, as they are really cheap for how good they feel.
Pros: cheap, good feel
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
Nankang ns2 is really good!
Pros: really good
Nankang ns2/ns2r, lotta bang for the buck
Pros: lotta bang for buck
Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.
Pros: perfect off road, no slippage
Cons: Nankang does not recommend
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 15000 km
NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.
Pros: inexpensive, last long, excellent water handling, stretch nicely, no failures
Cons: hard to balance, loud, highway vibrations
a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II
Pros: stretch well, last long
Cons: noisy when worn
Friends have run these, they are outright terrible in all respects.
Cons: outright terrible in all respects
I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.
Cons: wore quickly, uneven wear, hard when cold, noisy, no off-road traction, blowouts, punctures
