305/30ZR19 TYRE Nankang CRS

Product introduction

The Nankang CRS / CR-S tyre in size 305/30 R19 102Y XL is a road approved semi-slick designed for sports vehicles, high-performance preparations and intensive use on dynamic roads, trackdays or historic climbs. Its performance-oriented design offers an excellent compromise between grip, driving precision and safe behavior on wet surfaces.

Purpose of the part

The tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the road. It transmits traction, braking and lateral forces when cornering. On a sports car, a semi-slick tyre like the Nankang CR-S makes it possible to use the chassis, engine power and braking capacities more efficiently, while maintaining approval for road use.

Signs or consequences of a worn or defective tyre

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or while cornering.
• Increased braking distances, particularly on wet surfaces.
• Deterioration of steering precision and steering feel.
• Irregular heating of the tread during sports use.
• Increased risk of aquaplaning if the grooves are too worn.
• Asymmetrical wear which may reveal a geometry, pressure or suspension defect.

Benefits of replacement

• High grip on dry roads thanks to performance-oriented compound and tread.
• Better cornering stability with a rigid sidewall offering precise chassis feel.
• Efficient water evacuation via wide internal circumferential grooves.
• Better temperature control during intensive use on a race track or road.
• Progressive and safe behavior for powerful or prepared vehicles.
• Road approval allowing versatile use between sporty and trackday driving.
