Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.
Pros: work well in heat
Cons: more pace than V730
Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.
Pros: remote job sites
You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.
I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.
The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.
Pros: insane grip, improved braking
Nankang FT-9 tires have been awesome for me. I basically rally my little van out in the woods so I can attest to their durability.
They also handle pretty well on road.
And they are LT rated!
Pros: awesome durability, good on-road handling
These are comfortable highway tires that ride SMOOTHLY and quietly. I am selling as I want to begin dune bashing so I upgraded to All-Terrain tires.
Pros: comfortable, smooth, quiet ride
Mileage: 9000 km
Nannkang NS20 is the cheapest tire that's good enough you won't think about it
Pros: good enough, cheapest tire
Nankang AR1’s are absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t recommend driving on them in anything but completely dry weather as they’re basically a road legal semi slick.
Pros: absolutely amazing
Cons: poor in wet weather
I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.
Cons: started to split
Vehicle:
MINI
