Several HPDEs in, looking into mild track upgrades

[AHP]

Speaking of Nankang.. I just switched from Conti ECF to Nankang AR-1 on my C7Z and holy hell are they awesome grip-wise in comparison. They are LOUD like an R888R and I got caught in torrential rain on the way home from the track and they were sketchy AF, but love everything else about them so far. They seem to be wearing very well so if I can get some respectable life out them, they'll be my go-to.

The CRS is a modern better version of the AR-1 so if you love AR-1's you will really love the CRS. CRS are also silent on the road and have great street manners. Also sketchy in standing water though. I drove brand new full tread CRS's to Palmer in pouring rain a couple months back and I needed about three beers once I arrived.

That echoes what I've heard elsewhere. If the 305/325 19" are ever in stock I'll give them a whirl. Neither G2 or Phil's had them, or at least both sizes. PhD has them on their site but with a disclaimer about taking future orders so not sure they have any on hand.

Phil's has CRS V1 305/30/19 in stock. I walked by stacks of them last week when I picked up my CRS's.

Yeah, but nobody has the 325s I need for the rear. ?

I believe those were announced for V2 just recently. I don't think they have made them yet. Wasn't a size in V1 AFAIK.

Not worth the $$$

Got me checking… Even my fav ? has gone up in price ? What are you running and how much do yours cost Jason?

Just saw that Tire Rack is carrying the Nankang CR-S 2023 in normal sizes as well as 295-35R18!

I know what I'm running next season!

I'm unable to find them on the site.

Just over $300 a tire for CRS V2 in 275/40/18. I’m lucky to be local to Phil’s and able to get pickup pricing.

Hey Peter!

I found them by searching for 295-35R18 200tw tires, but it looks like they're not fully listed on their website yet. It does show them in-stock and available for delivery tomorrow though.

Weird...

ah thanks, different in desktop vs mobile client, very cool find. hope it shows up on discount tire as well for the 5% .mil discount

Yeaah. Didn't read the full thread before responding. Noob move.

Looks like Phils is the way to go for Nankangs. I'm not sure if Tire Rack does price matching, but Discount Tire does.

Actually they're priced the same at both sites (295s too).

305/30/19s still OOS. Big sad. I'm NOT happy with these v601 tires.

So it looks like price is gone up a bit.

Everything has.

Last year I was buying 275/40/18 V1 CRS's for $299/each
