Tires NANKANG or Laufenn

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.

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)

These are the Nankang CRS tires, saw similar wear pattern from the RT660s as well (in fact that kind of just chunked away leaving rings of cords).

I currently use these tires. They're rated to last 60,000 miles but I don't think they lasted more than 30,000 or 2 years for me.

Laufenn tires are generally pretty lousy. They're cheap, but that's about the only good thing that can be said about them. They can suffer from poor quality control in manufacturing and wear out fast.

Super late here but I have these on my Acura and they’re abysmal in wet and snow. Very, very little traction in even the lightest dusting of snow. They break free when going around corners dry and when it’s wet out they really go all over the place.
