If your Porsche splits time between backroads and the grid, the Nankang Sportnex CR-S V2 hits the sweet spot: competition-ready dry grip, clear feedback at the limit, and manners you can live with on the street in warm weather. Built for HPDE, time attack, and autocross, the CR-S V2 warms up quickly, stays consistent in longer sessions, and communicates what the chassis is doing—exactly what Porsche drivers want when pushing a 718 or 911.
Why Porsche Owners Love the CR-S V2
- Fast warm-up, repeatable laps: Track-optimized compound reaches its window quickly and resists going greasy deep into a stint.
- Real steering feel: Asymmetric pattern with broad, low-void outer shoulders supports crisp turn-in and stable mid-corner grip—great for strut-front 718/911 platforms.
- Built for speed from the inside out: Two-ply polyester casing, two wide steel belts, and an aramid cap ply lock down the carcass; sidewall compound manages heat and response.
- 200-treadwear credibility: DOT 200TW construction fits popular “street tire” classes—always confirm with your rulebook.
Porsche Platform Notes & Popular Fitments
Below are common Porsche setups enthusiasts use for dual-purpose wheels/tires. Always verify wheel width/offset and fender/strut clearance for your specific car and alignment.
718 Cayman/Boxster (981/718)
Drivers often run square or mild staggered sets for balance and rotation. Example dual-purpose sizes frequently used on performance wheels:
- 245/35-20 front & 275/35-20 rear (street/track compromise)
- Many track builds step to 18s with wider rubber (e.g., 245–265 front, 265–285 rear) depending on wheel width and camber. The CR-S V2 range covers popular 18–20 in. options.
911 GT Cars (991 GT3 as reference)
- A typical “direct-fit” combo is 245/35-20 (F) & 305/30-20 (R); the CR-S V2 is a frequent shortlist pick among Extreme Performance Summer options for this chassis.
992 GT-Series & Wide-Body Cars
- The CR-S V2 catalog includes aggressive 21-inch rears up to 335/30ZR21, supporting modern staggered Porsche fitments when paired with 20-inch fronts.

Setup Tips for Porsches (Baseline Starting Points)
Every car and track is different, but these guidelines work well for strut-front Porsches on 200TW tires:
- Camber: Aim for -2.5° to -3.0° front, -2.0° to -2.5° rear for dedicated track days. Add camber plates or RS/GT-style mounts up front if outer shoulders are wearing.
- Toe: Start near zero front (or a whisper of toe-out for turn-in); slight toe-in rear for stability.
- Pressures: Start low-30s cold and adjust to a stable mid-30s hot (psi) based on wear/pyrometer—seek even temps across the tread.
- Rotation: If you run a square setup on a 718, rotate often to even out wear from camber and heavy braking zones.
- Cool-down: Take an easy lap before coming in to help longevity and compound consistency.
Wet and Cold-Weather Reality Check
Like any Extreme Performance Summer tire, the CR-S V2 is designed for warm, dry to damp conditions. Do not drive, store, or service them in near- or below-freezing temps, and reduce speed in standing water or chilly rain. Protect the compound—and your investment—by using them within their intended window.
Sizes That Make Porsche Sense
From 15–21 inches, the CR-S V2 lineup covers the Porsche spectrum—from track-friendly 18s for 718 builds to wide 20/21-inch GT car fitments (including 305/30ZR20, 315/30ZR21, and 335/30ZR21). We stock the sizes enthusiasts actually use and can heat-cycle sets before shipment for consistent performance from session one.
