vs
Tires OEM Toyota or NANKANG
Reviews
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
Nankang NS-20, super easy to stretch and had no problems with them. also quite cheap (for the size i got them in)
Pros: easy to stretch, no problems, cheap
Nankang NS2-R is best bang for buck track tyre hands down.
It’s marginally slower than most other semi-slicks, but it will last longer, it will be faster than any premium road tyre on track.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: marginally slower
That being said, the CR-S is an incredible tire if your focus is driving on dry tracks. I found wear to be good with very consistent laptimes, it doesn‘t overheat easily, which is something I very much enjoy. Being able to push for many laps with the tire staying consistent and predictable is quite a treat if you ask me. Performance in the wet however isn‘t really good.
Pros: consistent laptimes, doesn't overheat
Cons: performance in wet bad
These tires wear like iron for me. They're fantastic.
Pros: fantastic, wear like iron
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)
Cons: suffer more in rain
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).
Cons: chunked away, rings of cords
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
The OEM tires on nearly every brand aren’t really good. This is the part where you shop around and find the tires for you. But you can find some really good ones for either amazing grip or maximum comfort.
Pros: amazing grip, maximum comfort
Cons: OEM tires aren't good
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Have driven on Noble Sport NS20. Is bad, wouldn't recommend for the price point.
Cons: bad, not recommended
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.
Pros: decent on asphalt
Cons: not top tier on concrete
