There is no review of these tyres which mentions the fact that they do not have a rim guard, which is very odd in itself!

@@ericn7698 Hello and thanks for watching! No the tires don’t have a rim guard indeed. I am not sure why Nankang do design them like this but I am guessing that this is less of a “need” on a race track specific tire. Rim guard makes more sense on a road tire maybe? I am just guessing here!

@@Sebull Thank you !🙏

@ I m pretty sure that with pirelli rs the 2:27 is possible 👌

@@Sebull Absolutely right! The driving itself could do with a bit of improvement!

@@footageaerial3447 Hello! It had one heat cycle and 90kms of track use on it.

@@footageaerial3447 Hello! One heat cycle and 90kms of track use them.

@@wdp_racing so it wouldn't be much different if both were fresh tires. Assuming 13 laps are kill laps, that could take off 8 tenths on the next cycle

@ That is my argument in the video in the data analysis part 😁

@@alexandergiannoulis7868 Thank you very much Mr.Giannoulis! 🙏

@@JCPAZERTY Thank you very much! It is decent but it’s not really fast! 😊. The tires in the video are Pirelli trofeo RS.

@@deepervision 😂😂😂😂😂 Let’s all stand up

Thank you for the nice words, the comment and the like! Much appreciated and definitely boosts our desire to make such content !! Hope you like it till the ens! 🎉

@@To.red.supercars Hahaha! In all fairness he had just bought the car and first time in Spa! Greta gentleman from Canada, we met later onwards and we even discussed about jumping int he car together the next day but unfortunately i didn’t find the time as i have to film again for the tire comparison video! Maybe in the future 😁

@@deepervision In all fairness it was his first time in Spa and also in the car! Great gent though, we met later!

This is inside information. Don't make me feel guilty for my comment! 😂

@ Don’t feel guilty as the intention was not to insult! 😅 You simply were lacking the inside information, and now you have it! Here. Sit on the couch 😅

@@ealingj Thank you very much for watching! And for appreciating the effort! 🙏

@@mich5528 😂😂😂 The sun always shines!!! As for the track you should definitely be proud! It’s one of the special ones!

@@997GT3R Thanks for commenting! Are you talking about the swap between the GT3 and the GT3RS?

@@asyrigos Thanks for watching and for commenting Mr.Syrigos!! 🙏

@@deepervision Thanks for commenting! Have you started already! That’s the question!

@@mixxeerr hahahahah! I am actually Greek! 😂 Maybe I get more credits ? 😁 PS: I think speaking a language which is for the most part accepted as the International one makes sense!

❤

Love you too!

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

@@florian_montuzet Thanks a lot for watching and commenting Florian! 🔥

@@tyrereviews Indeed it happened! Got sucked in the data analysis part so this time the video jumped a good 14 minutes from the previous one!

@@tyrereviews Very nice content by the way! Will certainly be checking some of that very soon as well!

@@wdp_racingit was awesome. Data is great

@tyrereviews you need more data like this in your performance tyre reviews

@@To.red.supercars 😀😀 Thanks for watching and the vote of confidence!! See you got some nice videos yourself on the channel and you are also enjoying some GT3RS sweetness 🔥

@@JamesZuuk-m7r 😅😅 I am sexy and I know it! 🤣🤣 Thanks a lot brother! 🤜🤛

@@sarontts Far too kind! 🙏 Thanks for watching Sam!! Looking forward seeing you on track next year 🔥😁

@@Synthaxx123 Thanks a lot for watching and for appreciating the effort put into these! We make a mental note of your comment for the future and if things align we would love to produce such content as well! 💯

@@Pepinozaur 🤣🤣 Hope you like it fast guy! Let me know what you think when the pop corn is done :)

Hello Jan! Glad to see i am not imagining things when it comes to how good the front end feels when driving the CRS tire! It feels so rigid and so responsive! Really if you have the opportunity to drive the Trofeo RS you will see such a big difference between the two! Again, i am not SO sure IF the Trofeo RS is actually faster if both tires are brand new. Unfortunately that traffic messed up the experiment a little bit.

@@wdp_racing I also don't know how the grip evolves on each tire after X heat cycles, but it is probably not the same for both tires. On my car the 245/305 CR-S combo seemed more grippy on the second time of use. I needed more rear grip if anything. Next year I will try 265 + 325 in 19". The Nankang also seems to prefer ambient temp of at least 15C, if it's too cold they don't work at all. So an excellent tire for summer. In cold weather (or a damp track) probably the Yokohama A052 would be king but they melt if you push several laps in a row.

@@JCviggen1 Nice feedback. If anything i definitely felt less grip on day 2 that i drove them as opposed the first day. Maybe the heat cycle, maybe the ambient temperature but the tire CERTAINLY did not provide the same grip as it did on the hot session of day1. Haven't tried the A052 as it is not available in the sizes of the cars available so don't have any real personal data. So you think the A052 is at the same wear range like the Cup2R and Goodyear RS?

@@wdp_racing Hard to say about the 052, but comparing tires is a pretty imprecise science at the best of times. The Yoko does not have a super fast layer at the start like the Cup2R, so the lap times do not really peak at the beginning rather they are roughly the same for the first 4-10 cycles. I never tried the Goodyear. I ran the Yokos on my GT4 a few years ago, very nice lap times but they need to cool down every time and the best laps are after a few heat cycles. Amazing in light wet conditions, like a Michelin 4S or better. They definitely do not wear down as fast as the cup2R but that is not a very high bar to clear :) At least in some tests with some kind of cars, the Yoko is slightly faster than the CR-S. But its main strength is traction which a GT3 is not really very short of.

Nankang is 10 min from my house. In Taiwan we have 2 tracks and both have heavily biased toward slow to medium speed corners. Also, the entire culture of driving here revolves around touge time attack (think Best Motoring videos in Japan) which are tight mountain turns. I'm not surprised at all that the CRS is awesome in tighter turns.

I tried not too!

i bet there was more than one brown line after he settled the car 😂

@@Pepinozaur 😅😅😅 Exactly what I heard!

@@snoopckuu That would be a VBox HD2 system by Racelogic with a custom scene to it. :)

@@wdp_racing thanks! Great lap in suboptimal conditions.

@@realstradman You need to bring that monster back for numerous reasons and one of them is definitely to take it in the 2:2X zone! 🔥

Ouf that’s a high bill!! 😂 Although we have something cool in the making which should be out soon! And it has some of the options mentioned above! Stay tuned! 🎉

@@PROofHAPPYWHEELS Thank you for taking the time to comment and for the productive input! Something to keep for the future and hopefully, weather allowing before the end of the season we will come up with another video!

@@MrSuliatkdc Hello and glad you found the video useful! As we do not own a 991.1 GT3RS for the time being we can’t say we have tested it ourselves. But @k.zannos has plenty of experience with all kinds of Porsche platforms as a performance driving coach and he can confirm same findings as on the current video. As for values, due to the McPherson layout at the front, all generations up to the 992 love camber. So if we are talking about track use and optimising grip and tire usage, then you can be looking at even values of 3.4 at the front and something more like 2.8 at the back. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment! We are currently in the process of what you are writting and might be sharing an update soon! Stay tuned :)

The new Trofeo RS is definitely on our "to do" list as we have read only but good things for it! The SC3 we do not have on this side of the pond but we should be having the Trofeo RS soon, which is supposedly the European equivalent of the SC3, if our sources are not wrong! Stay tuned and lets see what tire and when we can get our hands on and test!

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Also glad to see that you found it somewhat useful! We definitely want to try and do some more of these comparisons for different tires out there, so stay tuned! :)

@@wdp_racing I drive a Porsche 991.1 C4S and was surprised by its potential to understeer, during tight corners on track. Would be interested to know whether increasing the front tyre width might help? Currently running 245/35 R20 on 9J / 305/30 R20 on 11.5J rear but have wondered about 265/30 R20 front.

Indeed that could be a very vague general guide! But there is much more to it than that. So lets pick our brains with another question! When is camber considered enough ?

@@wdp_racing question may be: are you setting up for ultimate pace over a short stint or do you need to make the tires last over a longer haul?

Thank for taking the time to watch and comment! Great to read about your personal experience and also interested to hear what you have to say if you drive the CR-S over the AR-1! How do the Yokohamas feel compared to the AR-1 and what is your track car?
