Tires Firestone or NANKANG

I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

The OEM Bridgestone tires were terrible....The Firestones have been great.

I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.

I got HP108s which were $400 total with installation they work just as well as my “Firestone firehawks” which was $860let’s just see if the tread last as long. They work excellent in the rain and I drive on country backroads and highway 6 days a week to work 120 miles a day and I drive like a maniac they’ve been holding up well

Ran Firestone on my old truck, same model number it came with. 65k, on the 1st set, 70k on the 2nd and had 65k on the 3rd set when I sold the truck.

Mostly highway driving, a lot of country roads. Tire pressure and regular rotation is what got me there.

For my cheap ass I think Indy 500 look the best out of cheap and commonly available in the US

I've used the brand Nankang for a while they are cheap and i find them really good for a budget tyre

I got the Firestone Indy 500 in 215/55/17 and they have a LOT of grip but the sidewalls are very soft so there's not much steering feel.

Cant speak to the Falkens but Indy500s get greasy after a few good heat cycles

Hated these Firestone’s on my e30. Got very noisy when older, grip was inferior to a even a 10mm smaller width fallen rt615.
