Nankang NS-2R Track/ Semi Slick Tyre

Product Description

The Nankang NS-2R is a competition, track and fast-road tyre developed for drivers looking for reliable performance, consistent grip and confidence across a range of conditions. Proven through years of club motorsport use across the UK and Europe, the NS-2R is a highly recommended option for track day cars, fast road builds and club-level competition.

The NS-2R has been used in championships including the BMW Compact Cup, MaX5 / Mazda Motorsport Club UK, Civic Cup, M3 Cup and various open tyre series, helping build its reputation as a dependable motorsport tyre.

While it may not be the outright fastest tyre on the grid, the NS-2R is valued for its consistent performance, making it a strong endurance-focused choice for drivers who want repeatable handling over longer sessions. It also offers excellent wet performance, giving confidence in both wet and dry conditions.

The NS-2R is EU tyre labelled and has MSA List 1B approval, making it suitable for a range of club motorsport and performance driving applications. For best performance, Nankang recommends a camber range of -1.0 to -3.0 degrees. Recommended hot pressure settings are 23–27.5psi for vehicles under 800kg, 24–32psi for vehicles between 800–1000kg, 27.5–37psi for vehicles between 1000–1400kg, and 34–42psi for vehicles over 1400kg.

For cold pressure setup, use the highest figure relevant to the vehicle weight and work down after warm laps. For example, a 950kg vehicle should start from 32psi, while a 1250kg vehicle should start from 37psi. For road use, tyre pressures should follow the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.

Tyre pressure guidance is provided as a general starting point only. Recommended pressures can vary depending on tyre size, vehicle weight, wheel setup, alignment, suspension, driving style, circuit conditions and ambient temperature. For the most accurate setup advice, please contact Nankang directly or refer to their latest official tyre pressure guidance before use.

For optimal balance during installation, align the yellow dot on the tyre with the valve stem on both aluminium and steel wheels.
