Tires Toyo or NANKANG

I know this is an old thread but everyone in it was wrong. The Toyo’s are far in away better at dry grip than ps4s and better for track days as they are far less likely to chunk under heavy loads for multiple laps. It’s faster in the dry than a pilot sport 5 which is faster than a 4s.

UK and lots of those are available, I run Toyo R888s on my Elsie and they Road Legal (I sprint/hillclimb in a road legal class)

Tested on a 2018 AMG GT R in Porsche Ring, Audru, Estonia. So far I'm liking the CRS more. Price is the same as Cup 2, but it's faster and doesn't seem to be worse on street.

We also have good experience with Nankang on smaller cars. I have not tried them on bigger cars yet. They are a bit more noisy than the Vitour tires, but the white stripe on them seems to hold up a little bit better. But there is still no problem keeping them white.

Stock tires lasted about 50-60k miles on all three of my lightnings. I went with the toyos for replacements. My lightning has 10-15k on the toyos now, they're great. Smooth, wearing nicely, quiet, good efficiency, good in snow and rain, etc.

I just bought the Toyo AT3 EVs earlier this week and I love them. Look great, haven’t noticed road noise and can’t wait for winter snow in these tires.

I will say the nankangs also suffer more in the rain (could be temp related too, but feels like they don’t evacuate water as well)

Toyo gives then a 2.5 / 5 rating in the snow.

However I think the biggest factor is these Toyo tires simply are not good tires. They are noisey. I am getting WAY to much noise on highway. Over 36 they are to stiff and noisey, they actually "howl" and even at 35 these Toyo just seem iffy.

Nothing. Worst all-season tire ever.
