Nankang CR-S (200 TW)

Track-Ready Yet Street-Friendly

• The CR-S is a 200-treadwear tire that blends reliable everyday use with the ability to handle spirited laps. This makes it a good match for GT3 owners who drive on public roads and enjoy frequent track events.
• The compound warms up quickly, so you won’t need many laps before you feel confident pushing the car.

Balanced Performance

• Expect strong cornering and braking grip without completely giving up the comfort you need for highway cruising or backroad fun.
• Its tread pattern deals well with light moisture, though dry conditions are where the CR-S truly shines.

Nankang AR-1 (100 TW)

Aggressive Grip for Faster Lap Times

• The AR-1 is tuned to maximize traction and consistency on hot laps. It’s semi-slick, which leads to a wider contact patch and impressive stability through corners.
• A 100-treadwear rating is all about track performance, so be prepared for a firmer ride and quicker wear if you use it on the street.

Motorsport Roots

• Designed for drivers who prioritize cornering speed and precise steering feedback. If you’re focused on cutting lap times, the AR-1 is a trusted option, particularly for high-powered cars like the GT3.

Tire Heat Cycling Service

Better Grip from the Start

• Heat cycling your new tires helps stabilize the compound, giving you consistent performance from your very first session.
• Reduce the risk of uneven wear by letting our experts break in the rubber under controlled conditions.

Extended Longevity

• Pre-conditioning also helps the tire maintain its properties across multiple track days, which can save you money in the long run.

FAQs for Porsche GT3 Track Tires

Q: Are these tires suitable for daily driving?
A: The CR-S’s 200 TW rating allows for some daily usage, though you’ll experience slightly faster wear than with standard summer tires. The AR-1 (100 TW) is much more aggressive and best for those who spend limited time on the street.

Q: How do they perform in wet weather?
A: Light rain is manageable for both, but heavy standing water can be an issue due to minimal tread void. Exercise caution if the forecast calls for more than a drizzle.

Q: What tire pressures should I start with at the track?
A: Many Porsche GT3 owners begin around 28–30 psi cold, aiming for roughly 34–36 psi hot. Keep a tire gauge handy and adjust based on feel and wear.

Q: Can I store these tires in cold temperatures?
A: Store them above freezing to avoid damaging the rubber compound. Prolonged exposure to very low temperatures can impact performance.

Q: Do I need a professional installer?
A: For best results, yes. Precise mounting and balancing help ensure even contact and consistent grip on the GT3’s performance-minded chassis.
