Tires Toyo or NANKANG

So I got these nankang AR-1 and never run them before. They talk about a break in, a certain amount of heating, the off the car for a full day.

Nankang CRS is worth a look. I’m on my second set because I had good results with them. They have been consistent and good feedback.

Can recommend Nankang NS2R. Good price compared to more wellknown brands but there quality and functionality is there. Been running these on the streets for years now.

Had a set of Toyo tires before on my honda jazz. Very satisfied with it. Lasted 6-7 years since low mileage lang yung car and never had any problems.

Toyo proxes sent me into a wall in the rain. 10/10 tire

my usual go to reccomendation for "an tyre" are Toyo proxes comfort at this moment in time, good levels of grip and they wear well for a mid range tyre

Personally, I'd go with Toyo Proxies CF2's. I find they are around the right budget and still get "enough" quality without straying towards the needlessly expensive ones.

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

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.

Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
