Tires NANKANG or SUNNY

Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.

Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.

I was not able to find falkens for the size I was looking so switched from Yoko a052 to Nankangs… very happy so far … was able to close the gap in my group by 3 seconds …

I've run both. Both are good. I prefer the Falken overall due to the directness of the steering feel and how well I can place the car. Nankangs very easy to drive.

They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.

I’ll probably end up with another set of Nankang AR-1s next.

I liked them when I had them. Dry and wet they were pretty good, in the snow...not so much.

I had them on the c5s, drove them prettybhard in all sorts of weather and they were great,.. But at the first sigh of snow they were horrible, barely made it home with a 1/4 in of snow.. Dry wet however was great and to me they seemed silent..

A few years back I looked at a CPO 2009 GTI - had Sunny tires on it. Besides the rest of the car being beat to snot and smelling terrible, the tires were horrible. I didn't look at what was on the car until after the test drive. I couldn't believe it was a CPO.

lol i wanna know too, my nankangs wore way to fast for me.
