Tires NANKANG or Barum

Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.

So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.

Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.

Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.

Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.

Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.

When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.

215 on a 9.5.. i must however say that falken 512s stretch much better than these(although i was happy with how my nankangs looked on the c5's)

I had nankang before. Stupid loud and didn't last long at all.

Expect lots of ***-***-*** noise as they wear. The NS2 on one of my previous cars got so loud that it became unbearable.
