Product introduction

The Nankang CRS / CR-S tyre in size 235/45 R17 is a road approved semi-slick designed for drivers looking for a high level of grip on sports roads, trackdays, historic climbs or leisure circuit use. Resulting from the Nankang experience in performance tyres, this model offers an excellent compromise between grip, driving precision and efficiency on wet surfaces.

Purpose of the part
