Tires DUNLOP or NANKANG

MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:

Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.

Dunlop enasave EC300 was a lot quieter than my then stock hankook ventus tires.

Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more 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.

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.

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

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

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.

I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
