Tires FEDERAL or NANKANG

The nankangs are very good track tires. Many experienced professionals like misha charoudin swear by them.

Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.

They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.

Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!

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.

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.

I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)

The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.

Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.

Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.

I’ve ran them for autox for fun when I had bmw Z4. They aren’t that good. Lol. Decent daily tires though.
