vs
Tires Tesla or NANKANG
Still need tire shops. Everything else that is ICE specific will shut down.
I got cheap tires on my 2019 Tesla 3 performance and it now has 130k with one flat only, it's actually lighter that gives more range too.
Pros: more range, lighter
Mileage: 209215 km
Tested on a 2018 AMG GT R in Porsche Ring, Audru, Estonia. So far I'm liking the CRS more. Price is the same as Cup 2, but it's faster and doesn't seem to be worse on street.
Pros: faster, good on street
We also have good experience with Nankang on smaller cars. I have not tried them on bigger cars yet. They are a bit more noisy than the Vitour tires, but the white stripe on them seems to hold up a little bit better. But there is still no problem keeping them white.
Pros: white stripe holds better
Cons: a bit more noisy
I have them ony C5. They're actually not bad even when not up to temp. I just don't push them hard until I build some heat. On the street they're AOK as long as youre not stupid.
Pros: not bad even cold
Cons: push hard when cold
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I really like the CRS. Handles a bit more heat than most of the super 200 tires, but sticks way better than the endurance 200’s. Not good in the rain though.
Pros: sticks way better
Cons: not good in rain
I have a set of Nankangs on my Ghia. They are a decent tire, but don't expect tons of grip from them, and they're pretty hard.
Pros: decent tire
Cons: not tons of grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.
Pros: acceptable grip in dry
Cons: poor grip in rain
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Replaced all 4 tires about 2 years ago. Have only driven about 18,000 miles since then and already, my tread is down two just 2mm. This thing chews through tires like I’m in a NASCAR race.
Pros: car still drives great
Cons: chews through tires
Mileage: 83000 km
My MYP went 12k before replacement
Cons: short lifespan
Mileage: 19312 km
