225/50ZR15 TYRE Nankang CRS

Nankang CRS CR-S 225/50 ZR15 road approved semi-slick tyre, designed for drivers looking for a high level of grip on sporty roads, circuits, trackdays or historic climbs. This high-performance tyre offers an excellent compromise between grip, driving precision and versatility, with an architecture developed to withstand heavy loads.

Function of the part: the tyre ensures direct contact between the vehicle and the road. It transmits engine power, braking and lateral forces when cornering. On a sports car, a semi-slick like the Nankang CRS CR-S improves traction, downforce stability and driving feel, while remaining approved for road use.

The inner tread has two wide circumferential grooves, combined with an optimised sidewall angle and a rounded groove bottom. This design promotes water evacuation and improves performance on wet roads compared to a more radical circuit type tyre.

The outer part of the tread has a design inspired by rally racing tyres, in order to offer high cornering grip and great stability during changes of support. Intermediate micro-grooves contribute to rapid heat dissipation to maintain consistent performance during intensive sessions.

Symptoms or consequences of worn or unsuitable tires:

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or cornering
• Longer braking distances
• Lack of precision in steering
• Deterioration of behavior on wet ground
