Tires NANKANG or MRF

I'm running Girordisc in the front with IS3500 and in the rear stock rotors with IS3000 and they are holding up so far at Mosport with Nankang CRS V2 tires.

I myself drive Nankang AS2+ with the dimensions: 235/35 R19.

Apart from the less direct steering and a driving profile that is a little more geared towards comfort, I am very satisfied.

I have a great grip feeling and the rim protection is slightly wider than with the nexen nfera su1.

Only I know how I managed to use these tyres for 17000 kms. Got the rear tyre changed with MRF RevZ radials as soon as the tyre wore out and it’s been a huge difference. Leaning on corners has also become way easier now.

Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.

Look at the NANKANG line. Start at NS2R. I use them on my Exige. But use a softer compound. If you need “more”, the AR1 are THE ones to take. But there is a new Kid on the block. NANKANG CRS. For that amount of monney, you wil hardly find a better tire.

The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.

In my limited experience with them i'd say that they are marginally better than Toyo's r888r over a single lap but require some tuning set up to not overheat.

Yes , my brother installed these and I was stuck with them but I was glad these wore out in just 30K , happily i replaced them with Yoko now. They are hard as well so it's not comfortable

Been using these stock tires for 34k KMs, mostly highway runs, this is my 3rd puncture on these, I never had a single issue on my Amaze tires for 40k KMs, I'm no longer thinking of using it to its fullest and changing it, just want to get a better one ASAP.

Have driven on Noble Sport NS20. Is bad, wouldn't recommend for the price point.
