Like others said in other reviews
I ve used 3sets of Nankang AR1 brefore i write this review on F80 M3 with 490RWHP set up.
My sizes were 265 35 18 front and 295 30 18 rear.
The only problem with AR1 is that it starts to get heat soaked pretty quick for a semi slick tire. You will have to cool down after a consecutive attack, if not it has tendency to become very greasy.

It doesnt last that long obviously but It does provide more grip than most of Extreme summer tires.

If you are limited on tire expense,i would go with something that lasts a little longer.
However if you are not limited, AR1 will provide more DRY grip for a limited time.

Break away characteristic is adequate. I would say it is on the liniar progressive side.

Great tires. Awesome in dry and wet, when up to temp. Wore quickly and eventually tore chunks out of the tread once I had tracked them.Defintely buy again though.

Kumho Ecsta KH11 rated 10% while driving a Porsche 996 C4S
Driving on mostly motorways for 100 average miles
terrible tires. Absolutely gutted. Side wall must be made of cardboard, as my Porsche is now scary to drive! Lost all confidence in handling, the rear rolls on the rim when you change direction. Very poor. Should have spent the extra 100 odd on Michelin!

Best tire for my 996T. Tried both Pirelli's (too noisy) and Conti's (tramlining) but they got nowhere near the Michelin's in terms of overall performance. Fantastic grip and decent wear.

These tires are a hidden gem. I have had yoko and michelins but these take the cake. I think they have actually taken a second off the 0-100km/h sprint. I travel the M1 to Brisbane each day and can you believe I've already got 15,000km out of them. I didn't bank on that nor the fact I got them cheap initially but if I have to buy them again I see the price isn't on the low end. Highly recommended. The yokohamas can't compete with these. They do get better when warmed but that is ovestated as it takes 5 minutes only. Noisy but who cares. My suspension wanes before the tires.

Good grip wet and dry. Commuting in 996 C4S.
Wear is dreadful, lasted 3000 miles on rears, fronts ok.
Will not fit again on car.

Excellent track tire.

90% of the dry grip of the PS Cup, but waay better in the damp, and lasts lots longer
