305/30ZR20 TYRE Nankang CRS

Product introduction

The Nankang CRS / CR-S tyre in size 305/30/20 is a road-approved semi-slick designed for sports vehicles, performance-oriented preparations and intensive use on road, trackday or historic climbs. Developed to offer a high level of grip and excellent driving feel, it is aimed at drivers looking for a high-performance, precise tyre that can be used on the circuit while remaining usable on the open road.

Purpose of the part

The tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the road. On a sports car or a prepared car, it plays an essential role in traction, braking, downforce stability and steering precision. The Nankang CR-S uses a specific tread pattern with two wide circumferential grooves on the inner part to promote water evacuation, while the outer part adopts a competition-inspired design to maximize cornering grip.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or defective part

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or while cornering.
• Extension of braking distances, especially on wet roads.
• Decreased steering precision and steering feel.
• Irregular wear which may cause vibrations, rolling noise or unstable behavior.
• Increased risk of aquaplaning if the grooves no longer allow effective evacuation of water.
• Deterioration of performance during sports or circuit use.

Benefits of replacement

• High grip on dry surfaces thanks to a performance-oriented semi-slick design.
• Better stability in turns and sustained support.
• optimised water evacuation thanks to the wide interior grooves and the studied profile.
• Efficient temperature rise and rapid heat dissipation via intermediate micro-grooves.
• Rigid sidewall offering precise feel and direct chassis response.
• Road approved tyre, suitable for sports vehicles used on the road and during circuit outings.
