Nankang CRS / CR-S 245/40/15 92W XL semi-slick road approved tyre

The Nankang CRS / CR-S in size 245/40/15 is a road approved semi-slick tyre, designed for drivers looking for a high level of grip on sports roads, trackdays, historic climbs or leisure circuit use. Developed to offer an excellent driving experience, it combines a competition-inspired tread with a reinforced structure adapted to heavy loads.

Purpose of the part

The tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the road. It transmits acceleration, braking and steering forces, while guaranteeing cornering grip and vehicle stability. For sporty use, choosing a semi-slick tyre like the Nankang CRS / CR-S improves the precision of the front axle, traction and consistency of performance when the temperature increases.

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.
• Less precise steering and feeling of floating.
• Uneven wear, which can lead to vibrations.
• Reduced water evacuation efficiency and increased risk of aquaplaning.
• Loss of performance during sports use or on the circuit.

Benefits of replacement

• Improved grip on dry roads and under heavy loads.
• Better driving precision thanks to a rigid sidewall reinforcing the feel of the chassis.
• optimised water evacuation thanks to the wide circumferential grooves located on the inner part of the tread.
• Increased cornering maneuverability with an exterior design inspired by rally competition tyres.
• Improved thermal management thanks to intermediate micro-grooves promoting rapid heat evacuation.
• Road approved tyre, suitable for versatile road and leisure circuit sports use.
