I need to replace 2 of my tyres and have been looking at Nankang ns2 and toyo proxes t1r.
Who has experience with either and what would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

In what size?
TBH I went off Toyo's due to wear rates. Similarly Falkens and the like. The Bridgestones on the front of my BM have done nearly 30,000 miles. The rears about 22,000. They've still got tread. Most I ever got out of Falkens before was about 16,000 and they were deader than tank tops.
Not used the Nankangs before.
I used to have falken zr912 and wasn't keen tbh.
Size wise 225/40 r18.
What are the bridgestones like on grip?
What is your primary want from the tyres? Grip/wet grip/stretch/drift/long lasting?
I've bought the ns2's because they stretch nicely and are reasonably grippy for budgets but i expect to use them up quick if my foot slips or something..
Maxxis vs01 recently fitted 4 to my e36 328. Brilliant dry grip, pretty quiet in terms of noise, wet grip is near enough as good as the rainsports 3 I removed. Nice feel, only been on for 3 months but wearing fine too.
Gave it a massive boot full coming off a roundabout in the wet and only had a small amount of wheelspin, with an open diff too.
Oh and the 911 is wearing Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta all round - they feel pretty good TBH so if you can get em cheap they're a good option
Good all round grip fast road use no track use.
What about maxxis maz3's?
Maz3 are listed as a "comfort/luxury tyre" vs01 is a "sport" tyre, maz3 are v directional groove, where as the vs01 are asymmetric.
Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric, cant speak for life span but they sure are grippy. IMO the best street tyre about
1998 Nissan 200sx s14a , 2000 std 5 speed with nismo supercoppermix clutch bn6 Sapphire Blue
Another one for Goodyears, there awesome. They still brake traction in lower gears on full chat but once your up and running they stick really well!
Very true lol. But I'm sure you get where I'm coming from. For actual grip use there awesome
F1 Assyms in that size on our daily E46. Good tyres, and around £95 quid each fitted from BlackCircles IIRC, which is mega cheap.
I'm going to have to go against the grain and say I thought the F1 Asymms I had on the Impreza didn't wear very well and the T1Rs I replaced them with were brilliant in wet and dry and last 18K miles before I sold them on as "part used". They didn't feel as nice after I swapped them front to back on each side though.
The Impreza is now running Yokohama V105s and they seem to grip well and the wear seems OK but they aren't as quiet as the T1Rs were and don't give the same feel through the steering wheel.
All the above are 225/45R17 on the Impreza so may feel different on other cars.
What car is it for OP? As that makes a huge difference - for instance I hated T1Rs on our old MX5, but am more than happy with them on my RX7, as I was on my mildly fettled 14.
