Tires Goodyear or NANKANG

Goodyear weatherreadys - specifically for the adverse weather conditions when you actually care about the tires you’re using.

I was not able to find falkens for the size I was looking so switched from Yoko a052 to Nankangs… very happy so far … was able to close the gap in my group by 3 seconds …

I've run both. Both are good. I prefer the Falken overall due to the directness of the steering feel and how well I can place the car. Nankangs very easy to drive.

I got the Goodyear assurance fuel max tires on my 2017 after the OEM tires wore out. 4 years and 60k miles later and so far and they still have good tread. I live in the Chicago area, no issues, even in snow.

I've had good luck with the Goodyear WeatherReady tires on my Rav4.

I'm a big fan of the GY SC3R for HPDE. The grip is so impressive once you get some heat into them.

They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.

I've had NS-II on my car for the past 4 years. For daily driving these tires will do just fine. Wet grip is alright and they're not terribly loud. They don't compare to Michelin Pilot Sport tires I ran before but they also don't cost anything close to Michelins.

I’ve gotten 3 flats with those tires, they aren’t the best

I just put new Goodyears on my trailer. One of the 4 was a GY Marathon and it feels so squishy and the sidewalls just feel weak compared to the other Chinese tires so its going in the trash for sure.
