Tires Tesla or NANKANG
The nankangs are very good track tires. Many experienced professionals like misha charoudin swear by them.
Pros: very good track tires
Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.
They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.
Pros: great tires
I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.
Pros: great grip, durable
Cons: grip needs warm up
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: NS-2RS
I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.
Pros: holding up so far
I myself drive Nankang AS2+ with the dimensions: 235/35 R19.
Apart from the less direct steering and a driving profile that is a little more geared towards comfort, I am very satisfied.
I have a great grip feeling and the rim protection is slightly wider than with the nexen nfera su1.
Pros: great grip feeling
Cons: less direct steering
Look at the NANKANG line. Start at NS2R. I use them on my Exige. But use a softer compound. If you need “more”, the AR1 are THE ones to take. But there is a new Kid on the block. NANKANG CRS. For that amount of monney, you wil hardly find a better tire.
Pros: better tire
Cons: softer compound
I swapped out the primacy's with nankang ns-20s and I feel like the car is less responsive. For instance, when quickly changing lanes on the freeway I feel like the ride is more spongy. They're way better for traction, but I feel less agile.
Pros: better for traction
Cons: less responsive, more spongy
I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).
The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.
Pros: wear pretty well, decent grip
Cons: soft construction, less feedback
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Brera
My i3 had nank’s. I destroyed the rears in less that 10k km.
Pros: Grippy!
Cons: Worn out quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.
Cons: awful wet traction
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
