Tires NANKANG or Laufenn

I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.

I've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.

I ran a pair of 225/45-15 CRS this year. Good grip, didn't mind getting hot, wore quickly.

I received and installed a set of 4 Laufenn X Fit HP tires for my '18 Odyssey today. On my 38-mile commute back home, tires are smooth, and noise is normal to very low.

Nankang NS-2R. Semislick tyre made for endurance.

With one set of this I made more than 1.000km on track.

And they are cheap.

I have a set of Nankangs on my Ghia. They are a decent tire, but don't expect tons of grip from them, and they're pretty hard.

I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.

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.

I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.

I have a set of 215/40 18 nankang ns-20's. Tires of course are on the cheaper side but many run them so thats what I went with. They perform fine for daily use and ride alright, however a few months back now I noticed that the driver side tire had some (at the time) small cracks in the sidewall. Thought thats odd but didnt have means to buy new tires so kept driving on them. Of course it got worse and then the passenger front tire began to do the same. This week I threw on a set of steelies and inspected all 4 tires and they all have the same sidewall cracks. The rears not as bad as the fronts but still present. Mainly on the inside of the rear tires, outside and inside of the front tires. Rear tread id say is like 60-70% remaining while the front are maybe 50% or so. Tires are also less than 3 years old with maybe 30k miles. Super frustrating as I have no idea why they did this and are pretty much trash at this point.
