Tires NANKANG or IRONMAN

I have them ony C5. They're actually not bad even when not up to temp. I just don't push them hard until I build some heat. On the street they're AOK as long as youre not stupid.

I really like the CRS. Handles a bit more heat than most of the super 200 tires, but sticks way better than the endurance 200’s. Not good in the rain though.

The nankangs are very good track tires. Many experienced professionals like misha charoudin swear by them.

They have been great tires for me for everything I've thrown at them so far.

I’ve actually been running NS-2Rs on my Miata for a few months now. For the price, they’re seriously hard to beat. Grip is great once they’re warmed up, and they’ve taken a decent beating at a couple of track days without falling apart. I was skeptical at first, but they’ve earned my respect.

Another vote for Ironmans. Used to run them on my foxbody until I wanted more grip

The crs were a bit pricey and didnt last long but they’re noticeable higher grip

I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)

I too just replaced half worn ironman tires with dws's on a car I just bought. Wet grip on the ironman was some of the worst I'd ever experienced on a tire with tread still on it.

Nankang CRS definitely is not top tier on Lincoln concrete. I'd honestly throw it below the RT660 on pace. Decent on asphalt and hot weather.
