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

You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.

Pros: fine in snowy roads, no issues

Cons: sharp turns tires give out

Nankang are cheap budget tires. They might have ran out of money recently and have been cutting corners on maintenance.

Pros: cheap budget tires

Cons: cutting corners

No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees

Cons: tires are trash

Rating 1.0

The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.

Cons: uncomfortable rocks, will fail

Vehicle: Subaru
