Nankang SL-1 210/610/17 slick tyre / Competition performance for the circuit

The Nankang SL-1 in size 210/610/17 is a 100 % slick tyre designed exclusively for motorsport and circuit driving. Developed by Nankang from its competition experience, it offers high grip levels on dry tracks, with precise and consistent handling for drivers seeking pure performance.

Part function

The slick tyre is an essential part of a competition vehicle’s suspension and ground contact. Thanks to its completely smooth tread, the Nankang SL-1 maximises the contact area with the asphalt to optimise grip, traction, braking and cornering stability. It allows full use of the chassis, suspension and braking potential during intensive dry-track use.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Progressive loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering loads
• Longer braking distances on track
• Unstable handling in corners or during changes of direction
• Uneven warm-up or loss of performance after several laps
• Excessive wear, rubber tearing or premature deterioration
• Reduced driver confidence and less consistent lap times
