Nankang Tires: CR-S V2 and AR-1

Nankang is known for delivering reliable traction and handling at competitive prices. These tires are often spotted at track days, but they also hold up well on everyday roads. Below are two popular options carried by Elite Performance.

Nankang Sportnex CR-S V2

  • Tread Design: Built to manage heat during aggressive cornering.
  • Rubber Compound: Aims for balanced grip on both track and street surfaces.
  • Sidewall Strength: Helps reduce flex, offering direct steering feel.

The CR-S V2 is often chosen by drivers who want predictable handling when pushing their vehicles, yet still drive on public roads without swapping tires.

Nankang AR-1

  • Semi-Slick Construction: Known for strong grip during track sessions.
  • Lap Time Focus: Designed to handle repeated high-speed turns.
  • Operating Temperatures: Works best once warmed up, providing solid corner exit traction.

This model is a go-to for those focused on performance driving. Many racers report improved cornering stability and consistent feedback.
