335/30ZR18 TYRE Nankang CRS

Nankang CRS / CR-S 335/30 ZR18 semi-slick road approved tyre, designed for very powerful sports vehicles seeking an extreme level of grip on sports roads, circuits, trackdays or historic climbs. This ultra-high performance tyre combines a competition-oriented design with road approval, in order to offer an excellent compromise between traction, driving precision and high-speed stability.

Function of the part: the tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the road. On a sporty configuration, it plays an essential role in power transmission, braking, steering precision and downforce handling. The Nankang CRS / CR-S is developed to maximize the contact surface on the ground, improve lateral grip and maintain consistent behavior during intensive use.

The inner tread incorporates two wide circumferential grooves, combined with an optimised sidewall angle and a rounded groove bottom. This design promotes water evacuation and allows a good level of performance to be maintained on wet surfaces, despite the large width of the tyre.

The outer part of the tread adopts a design inspired by rally racing tyres, in order to provide maximum grip when cornering. The micro-grooves located in the intermediate zone contribute to the rapid evacuation of heat, which contributes to better consistency of performance on the circuit.

Symptoms or consequences of worn or unsuitable tires:

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering
• Longer braking distances
• Imprecise behavior of the front or rear axle
• Rapid overheating during sports use
• Uneven tread wear
• Increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads
• Loss of stability at high speed or under high lateral stresses

Benefits of replacement:

• Significant gain in grip on dry roads and circuits
• Better support stability during heavy loads
• optimised traction for powerful vehicles
• More precise steering thanks to a rigid sidewall
• Improved feedback while driving
• More consistent performance thanks to better thermal management
• Road approval for versatile sports use
