275/35ZR19 TYRE Nankang CRS

Product introduction

The Nankang CRS / CR-S tyre in size 275/35 R19 100Y XL is a road approved semi-slick designed for sports vehicles, circuit outings, trackdays and dynamic use on the road. Developed to offer a high level of grip and a precise feel, it is aimed at drivers looking for a high-performance tyre capable of withstanding heavy loads.

Purpose of the part

The tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the road. It transmits traction, braking, cornering support and steering information to the driver. On a sports or prepared vehicle, a semi-slick tyre like the Nankang CR-S makes it possible to use the chassis, engine power and braking capacities more efficiently.

Its specific design incorporates two large circumferential grooves on the interior part of the tread to promote water evacuation. The exterior design, inspired by competition tyres, improves lateral grip and stability during strong cornering.

Signs or consequences of a worn or defective tyre

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or cornering
• Extension of braking distances, particularly on wet surfaces
• Lack of precision in steering and vague feeling of the front or rear axle
• Irregular wear that can cause vibrations or poor handling
• Increased risk of aquaplaning if the grooves no longer allow proper evacuation of water
• Decrease in performance during intensive use on a race track or road

Benefits of replacement

• Improved grip on dry roads and in sporty driving
• Better support stability thanks to a performance-oriented tread
• Efficient water evacuation via wide inner grooves
• Controlled temperature rise thanks to intermediate micro-grooves
• Rigid sidewall offering a more direct feel and better driving precision
• Behavior adapted to trackdays, historic climbs and sporty road uses
• Road approved tyre, usable in compliance with the dimensions and indices provided for the vehicle
