275/35ZR17 TYRE Nankang CRS

Nankang CRS / CR-S 275/35 ZR17 tyre

The Nankang CRS 275/35 ZR17 is a road-approved semi-slick tyre developed for sports vehicles seeking high grip during dynamic road driving, on circuits, at trackdays or in historic hill climbs. It offers an excellent balance between grip, driving precision and versatility of use.

Part function

The tyre provides the direct link between the vehicle and the road. In a sporting configuration, it plays an essential role in traction, braking, cornering stability and steering precision. The Nankang CR-S uses an optimised tread with two wide circumferential grooves on the inside to promote water evacuation, while the outer section inspired by rally racing tyres maximises cornering grip.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering
• Longer braking distances, particularly on wet surfaces
• Less precise steering and impaired body feel
• Irregular tread wear
• Increased risk of aquaplaning if groove depth is insufficient
• Reduced performance during sporting or track use

Benefits of replacement

• High grip on dry roads and under heavy cornering loads
• Better water evacuation through wide inner grooves
• Enhanced stability at high speed
• Rigid sidewall providing precise steering feedback
• Improved thermal management through intermediate micro-grooves
• Road approval allowing versatile use on road and track
• Ideal for sports vehicles fitted with 17 inch wheels
