Nankank CR-1 vs. A052?
I'm about to buy tires for track days and time trials. Tenths matter! Was going to get A052s but came across some info that suggests the Nankang CR-1 could be quite a bit quicker (see post #2):

The A052 is faster.

From reading seems like they're close to each other but cr1 may get a few more heat cycles.
I ran a052s last year and am trying Cr1s this year. A few more heat cycles is a good tradeoff if it's pretty close speedwise, in my mind. |

If you want a fast 200tw tire, it will not be durable. Both are not suitable for full wet conditions, PS4S or ECS
