Tires NANKANG or Laufenn

I use laufen all season high performance and they have worked great

Nankang worked well for me

I have nankang ar1s on my mclaren 12c. Great track tire

Something more cost savings are the Laufenn tires (made by Hankook) great “budget” tires!

I have Nankang NS-25s on mine. Less than $100 each, and even with a Malone Stage 2 setup, it only spins the tires a little bit. Dry handling is surprisingly good as well. They put up with northern Illinois winters well enough, and are just fine in the rain. Not too much road noise either.

That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.

I had both ns2 and 512 on my 17x9 both were 205/45. The nankangs were decent but didn't give me the stretch I wanted like the falkens

I've run both tires on 18x8.5. The falken 215/40's were smaller than the 205/40 AS-1's..I rubbed hard with the As-1's The AS-1's are a pretty true to size. I know what you are trying to do, and the AS-1's won't help. Edit: this is the best picture I have to show how true the tires are..as you can see it's not a great looking tire for the size.

They ARE crap. And that is spoken from someone who has had a set. Two of the 4 developed bubbles in the tread (tread separation) after about 10K miles.

i had 205/40/18 and the sidewill blew out within 3 days
