Sportnex CR-S 200 Treadwear Extreme Performance Summer Tire

It features a 200 treadwear compound and an asymmetric tread design specifically tailored for competitive activities like autocross, circuit racing, and HPDE. The construction incorporates an aramid-reinforced sidewall, which enhances tire stiffness to maintain consistent performance and precise handling during cornering. The inner tread features two broad circumferential grooves to improve drainage and wet-weather efficiency, while the racing-slick-inspired shoulder design maximizes lateral grip. For optimal results, Nankang Motorsport recommends a formal 'scrubbing-in' procedure for new tires, consisting of gradual speed increases over three to four laps and careful management of cold air pressures to match the vehicle's weight. Measuring tread temperatures with a needle pyrometer is recommended to monitor the vehicle's handling balance, with an ideal operating range between 70°C and 100°C. This tire is street-legal and designed to provide a more consistent and road-friendly experience, including lower noise levels, compared to the Nankang AR-1.
