Tires NANKANG or OEM Subaru

Nankang FT-9 145/80R12LT.

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'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.

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.

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

I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).

The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.

My buddy has them on the rears of his FBO 335i right now. They're not terrible for basic to spirited street driving. They can't handle any power at all though.

Those tires are death traps in snow and ice. No sipes, no studs, hard compound... You're going to be on hockey pucks.

Generally the folks I 4x4 with tend to avoid cheap small company tires like Radar, Atturo, and Nankang because some of em have had bad luck balancing them, even after spinning it on the rim. The quality control of the small companies isn't up to par with someone like Nitto or BFG so you get what you pay for.
