Tires NANKANG or KENDA

I usually go for Nankang SW-8, as they are really cheap for how good they feel.

Nankang ns2 is really good!

Nankang ns2/ns2r, lotta bang for the buck

Kenda Klever A/T2 KR628. I've had them on my R50 for the past year. About 10K miles so far. Solid overall and reasonably priced.

Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.

The CRS tires hold there grip very well thru out the life of the tire. They can come to heat cycled from the shop but these do work better if you heat cycle them per their instructions before your track day.

In run kenda K35 tires (but not gumwall) and they are ok budget tires. They work well but are not especially light, grippy or puncture-resistant.

I swapped out the primacy's with nankang ns-20s and I feel like the car is less responsive. For instance, when quickly changing lanes on the freeway I feel like the ride is more spongy. They're way better for traction, but I feel less agile.

Generally the folks I 4x4 with tend to avoid cheap small company tires like Radar, Atturo, and Nankang because some of em have had bad luck balancing them, even after spinning it on the rim. The quality control of the small companies isn't up to par with someone like Nitto or BFG so you get what you pay for.

I don't know if anyone has had the same experience with the 270, but my Kenda 280s have been awful on wet roads. Like riding on ice... Truly scary. I guess because the rubber compound is cheap. May not be an issue if you live in a dry climate.
