240/570/13 Nankang Slick SL-1 TYRE

Product introduction

The Nankang SL-1 240/570/13 slick tyre is a 100 % competition tyre designed exclusively for track use. Developed by Nankang from its motorsport experience, particularly with the AR-1 semi-slick, the SL-1 is intended for drivers seeking maximum grip, high driving precision and consistent performance on dry tracks.

Role of the part

The role of a slick tyre is to provide the greatest possible contact area between the car and the asphalt. With its completely smooth tread, the Nankang SL-1 maximises dry grip and improves traction, braking stability and cornering behaviour. It makes full use of the chassis, suspension and brakes’ potential during intensive track use.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering loads
• Longer braking distances on track
• Less precise behaviour on corner entry and exit
• Uneven rubber degradation or excessive overheating
• Performance dropping over successive laps
• Increased risk of understeer, oversteer or loss of control

Benefits of replacement

Replacing worn or less effective tyres with Nankang SL-1 slick tyres restores high grip and consistency on track. Its racing construction and advanced compounds ensure excellent thermal stability, good resistance to intensive driving loads and precise handling in fast corners and technical sections alike.

• Maximum grip on dry tracks
• Better driving precision
• High lateral stability under cornering load
• Consistent performance lap after lap
• Robust construction suited to competition
• An excellent choice for racing, private testing and intensive trackdays
