Recently tried Nankang AR-1 on my MT 991.2 GT3 and my experience goes along what has been described on a couple treads here. Great grip, takes a little bit longer than MPSC2 to warm up but when they do, they keep a more reasonable plateau for longer.

I am convinced. Now will put Pilot Sport 4S on my FI-Rs and will get some E07s for track. Still would stick with Nankangs as seem like a great compromise to drive to the track.

Anybody tried it? What tire size being used? Looking forward to some comments!

You should be able to run a 265/35 325/30 setup on 19" E07s.

Ive run them last year on my 991 GT3. Predictable grip cold and warm. Just doesn't like the wets. Great tyre, great price.

Thanks a lot. Will start from here and see how it goes!

There is an interesting thread here at RL about the AR-1

aalencar

yes! That pushed me to try them. But now will see how they behave on 19s.

Have you tried trofeo R on track before? How does the AR1 compare?

aalencar

Never tried. I really never thought the premium was worth it.

From those who tried, AR-1 is said to sit between MPSC2 and the R compounds. But seems R tires wear much faster. So far only one open day with AR-1. Lets see how they last compared to MPSC2.

Good comparison of of these vs the Trofeo R and Goodyear Supercar 3R.
