315/30ZR18 TYRE Nankang CRS

Product introduction

The Nankang CRS / CR-S tyre in size 315/30 R18 is a road approved semi-slick designed for heavily used sports vehicles, performance-oriented preparations and trackday use. Developed to offer a high level of grip, it combines precise behavior on the circuit with possible use on the open road, while respecting the approved dimensions and indices of the vehicle.

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 adopts a competition-style tread design to optimize lateral grip, feedback to the steering wheel and consistency of performance during intensive use.

Signs or consequences of a worn or defective tyre

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or cornering.
• Increased braking distances, particularly on wet surfaces.
• Less precise behavior when changing support.
• Increased risk of hydroplaning if the grooves can no longer effectively evacuate water.
• Irregular wear that can generate vibrations, rolling noise or loss of stability.
• Decreased performance in circuit, trackday or sporty driving use.

Benefits of replacement

• Finds a high level of grip on dry roads and in sporty driving.
• Improves steering precision and support stability.
• optimises water evacuation thanks to the wide circumferential grooves in the interior part.
• Promotes better heat management thanks to the micro-grooves in the intermediate zone.
• Provides a more direct feeling thanks to a rigid sidewall developed with a reinforced fiber process.
• Suitable for sports uses such as trackday, historic climb, leisure driving or prepared road approved vehicle.
