Tires OEM Audi or NANKANG
I've been buying my nankang tires directly from the EU branch: https://www.nankang.eu/ Fast shipping.
Pros: fast shipping
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
Pros: solid wheel spin
Cons: needs drag radials
Replaced my OE Pirelli P-Zeros for Nankang CS-R tires! Super grippy and wonderful feedback!
The P-Zeros only lasted 6k miles on aggressive camber. I hope the Nankangs last close to that, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Pros: super grippy, wonderful feedback
Cons: short lifespan (Pirelli)
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 6000 km
They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.
Pros: cheap, good as main brands, no problems
Nangkang CRS best bang for value. Do one hard heat session, then let it fully cool down. Then it’ll last for much longer and have better drop off as you go on.
Pros: best value, lasts longer, better drop off
I tried the Nankang CR-S V2 to see if it’s any good. On the road, noise levels are good for this kind of tire, nothing to complain about. Also, driving normally, it handles rain without having issues. That being said, I don’t know if I can say that they handled my last trackday particularly well.
Once they are up to temp and I figured out the correct pressures, the balance was very neutral and it had immense amounts of grip. My laptimes were fast and consistent. So far, so good.
The day came to an early end though, due to a puncture on the front left tire. I am not sure what was the cause of this, but this is the only tire I ever had where it happened. Maybe it’s just really bad luck, but again, I’ve never had that happen with any other tire I used. Don’t mind the wear on the picture, the tire wore down badly because I did an entire (slow) lap on the flat tire when it happened, all the other tires showed no issues in terms of that.
Pros: good noise, handles rain, immense grip
Cons: prone to punctures, trackday issues
Current tyre is a Nankang.
Vehicle:
Skoda Scala
O meu carro tem 300cv e tenho esses nankang precisamente nesse modelo. Já vou no 2 par, antes tinha uns yokohama e também tive hankook e sinceramente a diferença é quase nula...
Pros: diferença é quase nula
Eu tive Nankang e não recomendo, posso ter tido azar, sei...
Estavam no eixo traseiro comecaram a surgir fissuras entre os sulcos do rasto
Cons: surgir fissuras
Mileage: 40000 km
Just stay away from nankang. I’ve had nothing but issues with them
Cons: nothing but issues
