Not sure if there has been any reviews on these but since i havent seen any yet though i do a quick review on how i got on.
Track llandow race track south wales
Car mev exocet 1.8 turbo
Tyre comparision federal rsr 195/50/15 and the Nankang ar1 also in 195/50/15
Keep it brief with laps but will mark 5 laps each in the quickest block of times before getting involved in traffic etc. Both sets were given 2-3 laps to get up to working temp.
Federal rsr
lap 1 47.8
Lap 2 47.5
lap 3 47.0
lap 4 47.4
lap 5 47.7
Tyres give optimina/best time on lap 3 out of the 5 laps then started to overheat and cause the tyre too fold up on itself.
Nankang ar1
lap 1 46,1
lap 2 45.7
lap 3 45.5
lap 4 45.3
lap 5 45.4
Thats with starting tyre pressure at 24psi on each set with temps 18c and sunny
As for the review after the inital few laps just to wear of the top layour of surface the amount of grip over the rsr is instantly noticeable doesnt understeer at all just grips and turns with accuracy. I did notice if pushed to hard they start to slide but one lap to cool down and back to instant grip. Tyre wear cant comment as its only been the first time out but they dont melt and fold up like the rsr and dont blister neither and llandow is a harsh track on tyres.
Well worth the purchase will keep on updating at different events next weekend is a sprint event will find out how they perform from cold against the rsr at blyton park eastern layout with times from the circuit. But for now well impressed with the new tyre.
