240/610/17 Nankang Slick SL-1 TYRE

Nankang SL-1 slick tyre 240/610/17: 100 % circuit performance

The Nankang SL-1 in size 240/610/17 is a competition slick tyre developed for sports, racing and trackday vehicles seeking maximum grip on dry tracks. Drawing on Nankang’s motorsport experience, particularly with the AR-1 semi-slick, the SL-1 provides a high-performance, consistent and durable solution exclusively for circuit use.

Role of the part

The slick tyre provides direct contact between the vehicle and the track. Thanks to its completely smooth tread, the Nankang SL-1 maximises the contact patch to optimise grip, traction, braking and cornering stability. It fully exploits the potential of the chassis, braking and engine during intensive use on dry circuits.

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
• Overheating or rapid deterioration during intensive use
• Reduced lap-time consistency lap after lap
• Increased risk of loss of control with an excessively worn tyre or one unsuitable for the circuit

Benefits of replacement

• Maximum dry-track grip thanks to a 100 % slick design
• Improved lateral stability in fast bends and technical sequences
• More precise front-end response and improved traction
• Consistent performance across several driving sessions
• Robust structure suited to motorsport demands
• Excellent choice for competition, circuit days and intensive trackdays
