Tires NANKANG or Giti

MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:

Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.

Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.

You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.

I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.

The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.

Nankang are cheap budget tires. They might have ran out of money recently and have been cutting corners on maintenance.

Giti is an okay brand of tire but personally, I will switch to Michelins once the OEM tires need replacing. And even then EV tires will need more constant replacements because of the extra weight.

Can u at least get brand new china tyres like Giti or tourador instead of second hand tyres?

This tire is a GITI tire made in China, Indonesia and America & it's not the best by far. Probably defective and inferior materials combined with whatever you drove into or over it failed miserably.

I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.

Dude, my set of nankang tires from week 44 2023, stored in a shipping container, are worse than this. Literally sidewall cracks all over. Tossed that shit out so fast...
