295/50/15 Nankang CVR-6 tire

Nankang CVR-6 295/50R15 108V Tire, from the Classic Racingrange, designed for classic and historic vehicles first registered before October 1, 1990. This road-legal semi-slick tire combines a period-correct appearance with modern engineering—ideal for enthusiasts of vintage cars, historic rallying, vintage racing, or classic track days.

Function of the part: The tire provides the direct link between the vehicle and the road. It transmits traction, braking forces, and lateral forces during cornering. For a classic or historic sports car, a suitable tire—such as the Nankang CVR-6—ensures progressive handling, solid stability, and a driving feel that aligns with the vehicle's chassis characteristics.

Symptoms or consequences of worn or unsuitable tires: An ageing, cracked or hardened tyre fitment, or one unsuitable for sporting use, can lead to loss of grip, longer braking distances, reduced traction, unpredictable behaviour when cornering and less driving enjoyment. On wet roads or during intensive use, these issues can seriously affect the vehicle’s safety and performance.

Benefits of replacement: Replacing your old tires with Nankang CVR-6s restores effective grip, improves handling, and enhances steering precision. The competition-inspired rubber compound provides the traction needed for dynamic driving, while maintaining a desirable level of progressivity—an essential quality for powerful historic vehicles fitted with wide tires.
