Nankang NS2-R is best bang for buck track tyre hands down.
It’s marginally slower than most other semi-slicks, but it will last longer, it will be faster than any premium road tyre on track.
That being said, the CR-S is an incredible tire if your focus is driving on dry tracks. I found wear to be good with very consistent laptimes, it doesn‘t overheat easily, which is something I very much enjoy. Being able to push for many laps with the tire staying consistent and predictable is quite a treat if you ask me. Performance in the wet however isn‘t really good.
These tires wear like iron for me. They're fantastic.
Kenda Klever RTgets my vote. Less people use them but I've got 40000+ miles on mine including some pretty decent off-road trips every year and they have held up extremely well.
The Nankangs are good
If you're okay losing by a big margin but are focused on self-improvement, try running Kenda Vezda KR20a's (make sure it's the 200tw version). They are dirt cheap and stupid durable.
I have nankang econex on my 2006 twingo. But since i barely drive it, it's just fine.
CRS and AR1 are great track tyres and so use the AR1 myself.
However, what I think is their UHP road tyre, the NS2 is poor compared to Michelin/bridgestone/Continental offerings.
Can't speak to an Elantra N, but on my GT86 they were very noisy and very uncomfortable.
761’s were the tire that came on my NX650 when I got it…I don’t think I’ve used a more “meh” tire. The front cupped badly, sketchy in the rain and really, really sketchy off-road. They did last forever though!
