It is ideal for enthusiasts of vintage cars, historic rallying, vintage racing or classic trackdays.

Role of the part:

The tyre provides the direct link between the vehicle and the road. It transmits engine power, braking forces and steering movements while ensuring grip, stability and driving precision. On a historic vehicle, a suitable tyre is essential to retain handling consistent with the chassis, suspension and period performance.

The Nankang CVR-6 is designed to build grip progressively, provide good steering feedback and deliver predictable handling, particularly important on vintage cars whose running gear may be more sensitive than that of a modern vehicle.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre:

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering
• Longer braking distances, particularly on wet roads
• Imprecise or unstable handling at high speed
• Uneven wear that may indicate an alignment or pressure problem
• Vibrations, abnormal rolling noise or tyre deformation
• Increased risk of aquaplaning with insufficient tread depth
• Reduced driving enjoyment and vehicle safety
