Key Features

Asymmetric Tread Design

The Nankang CR-S tire shape helps direct load across the tread for stable cornering. Broad-shouldered outer blocks give you strong lateral grip, while intermediate grooves help control heat buildup.

Aramid-Reinforced Sidewalls

Aramid fibers add extra durability and keep sidewalls from flexing too much under hard cornering. This feature matters when you’re chasing lower lap times or dealing with bumpy track surfaces.

Heat Cycling for Optimal Performance

A proper break-in can boost tire longevity and on-track consistency. Gradually heating and loading the rubber helps stabilize the compound. Want to save time? Add our Tire Heat Cycling Service at checkout. It preps your CR-S V2s so you can head to the circuit right away:
