Tires OEM BMW or NANKANG
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
I have Nankang NS-25s on mine. Less than $100 each, and even with a Malone Stage 2 setup, it only spins the tires a little bit. Dry handling is surprisingly good as well. They put up with northern Illinois winters well enough, and are just fine in the rain. Not too much road noise either.
HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.
I had them on the c5s, drove them prettybhard in all sorts of weather and they were great,.. But at the first sigh of snow they were horrible, barely made it home with a 1/4 in of snow.. Dry wet however was great and to me they seemed silent..
i have them too. they run skinny and stretch well. they are a little noisy though.
Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
