Tires Uniroyal or NANKANG

Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.

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.

True budget greats to me are definitely uniroyal rain sport 3. Not dead cheap but used em on the front of all my drift cars for grip and havent got a single complaint.

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

I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.

NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.

I had a set on a 2008 F-250 work truck. Wore down quickly ~15K miles and unevenly. Felt like hard plastic chunks when cold, noisy, no off road traction. Had one blow out at about 60 mph and later on I had another tire get a tumbleweed puncture in the sidewall. They were trash. Swapped them out for a proper set of tires.

F'ing terrible compared to a reputable summer tire IMO.
