Nankang CR-S Track/ Semi Slick Tyre
With three years of development under it's belt, the Nankang CR-S is a step above the popular AR-1. It's not only faster, it's more consistent too.
Development by Design
A real focus was set out to offer an asymmetric tread design to improve rigidity as well as present an immense level of grip. Giving a more direct steering response and inspire confidence out on track.
The outer shoulder shows characteristics of a slick racing tyre, which when paired with an improved contact patch offers a high-level of lateral grip and handling capability.
Micro grooves are also present, which help to disperse heat under extreme driving and loads. A new cap compound aids heat generation to get up to operation temperature quicker, as well as improving wet-weather performance too.
Enhanced sidewall stiffness offers brilliant support, in addition to lower heat generation.
Road Friendly
Development didn't stop on the track, Nankang were determined to offer a tyre that was also kind to road users too. Producing a tyre that excels on track but also performs on the road is usually quite an art to achieve, but Nankang have come up trumps.
The Nankang CR-S has also been designed to offer lower noise levels, as well as improvements in wetter conditions over the AR-1. Two wide grooves, running the circumference of the tyre, help to aid drainage of water, which in turn aids wet performance.
