Nankang CRS / CR-S 225/45 ZR16 semi-slick tyre not road approved

The Nankang CRS / CR-S 225/45 ZR16 is a high-performance semi-slick tyre designed exclusively for track, circuit, trackday or competition use. Developed for sports vehicles, it offers a high level of grip, great driving precision and excellent stability under heavy loads.

Purpose of the part

The tyre ensures direct contact between the vehicle and the track. On a sporty configuration, it plays an essential role in traction, braking, steering precision and cornering handling. The semi-slick profile of the Nankang CRS optimises the contact surface on the ground while maintaining water evacuation suitable for wet or mixed conditions on the circuit.

The inner tread incorporates two wide circumferential grooves, combined with a significant sidewall angle and a rounded groove bottom. This design promotes water evacuation and improves tyre stability. The exterior part adopts a design inspired by rally tyres, in order to provide high grip and remarkable hold when cornering.
