Tires NANKANG or Achilles

Look at the NANKANG line. Start at NS2R. I use them on my Exige. But use a softer compound. If you need “more”, the AR1 are THE ones to take. But there is a new Kid on the block. NANKANG CRS. For that amount of monney, you wil hardly find a better tire.

I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.

I've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.

I ran a pair of 225/45-15 CRS this year. Good grip, didn't mind getting hot, wore quickly.

Nankang NS-2R. Semislick tyre made for endurance.

With one set of this I made more than 1.000km on track.

And they are cheap.

You can go with Achilles, on eBay, I’ve had some not bad

Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ

vegas eh. i just got a set of Achilles ATR sport off of Amazon for 47$ each shipped free. they're usually used as cheap track tires but plenty of people use them on all sorts of cars. if your not a brand snob check em out

They suck lol. They are loud, they hyrdoplane like a motherfucker, grooved pavement like overpasses makes them do this weird shimmy thing, and they wear quick. They cause the ABS to kick on super early, and lose traction fast.

I don't trust them and they are noisy. If you have any issues with them, it can take a week or two to get a new one.
