Discover the Nankang Sportnex CR-S V2: Ultimate Performance and Precision

When it comes to high-performance daily driving and track day tires, the Nankang Sportnex CR-S V2 stands out as a top contender. Engineered for extreme summer performance, this tire is the ideal choice for competitive racers who demand precision, control, and consistency on the track. Whether you're preparing for autocross, time attack, or circuit racing, the CR-S V2 delivers unmatched handling and responsiveness.

The Sportnex CR-S is Nankang's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for track day participants, motorsports enthusiasts, or any driver looking for competition-ready levels of dry traction and handling. Designed for maximum performance in warm, dry to damp conditions, like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, the Sportnex CR-S is not intended to be stored, serviced, or driven in near-and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Nankang has designed the Sportnex CR-S from the ground up with performance in mind, featuring a new tread compound created to quickly reach ideal operating temperature; this track-optimized blend is molded into an asymmetric tread design built for speed. Broad-shouldered outer tread elements utilize minimal void for maximum lateral grip. An intermediate circumferential groove aids in heat dissipation during especially aggressive driving, and can aid the two inner grooves in evacuating water from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and keep drivers in control.

The internal construction of the Nankang Sportnex CR-S features a two-ply, polyester casing to enhance handling and stability. Two wide, steel belts support the tread area and are reinforced by a sturdy Aramid cap ply to further improve handling and high-speed capability. The Sportnex CR-S boasts a sidewall compound designed to aid in heat management while enhancing stiffness for a reactive, yet predictable driving experience.
