Tires BFGoodrich or NANKANG

Nankang NS-2R. Semislick tyre made for endurance.

With one set of this I made more than 1.000km on track.

And they are cheap.

When i put on BF Goodrich ko3’s I had much more traction in mud and sand

I had a set of Nankang NS-25 UHP tires on my mazda 3 turbo sedan. They were great tires and handled really well. Got about 30k miles out of them. I was pretty pleased, they even did alright in snow.

So to create some perspective, my AR1’s on a small light car (Miata), lasted for 5 track days. Assuming an average of 20 mins per session, and around four sessions in morning and four in afternoon, we can assume I’m doing around 160 minutes or driving per day. So in theory I put 13 hours on those tyres!

Put on 285/75/r17 KO3s. I didn’t add a lift or level kit, wanted to try it out first. Absolutely love the look and initial feel, can’t wait to try it in the snow this winter and sand next Spring.

IME the bfgs will probably ride better than the generals but both would be decent

I’ve always loved my KO2’s until this set. They don’t seem to do as well in wet roads as they used to.

Ran through a set of KO2s on my Raptor, like the previous guy commented they seen to get louder with age, granted I am running 37s. Personally I have had good experience with Cooper AT3s

Those are the worst tires I’ve ever had on an Outback and I don’t get why everyone wants or likes such insanely heavy stiff tires. They are also ansotkrkt horrible in winter on ice and snow and caused my car to slide and perform like crap.

Overpriced, overweight. I try to get the lightest weight tire in a given size that still looks decent. Hard to beat KO2s
