Product description & features

For dry circuit running, the Nankang AR-1 uses directional tread with limited grooves to maximise contact patch during cornering. The Nankang AR-1 track day tyre has stiff sidewalls that allow the tyre to retain shape under heavy loading during cornering. The tyre's dry grip and durability are enhanced by high-silica tyre compounds for repeated use in track sessions.

The construction and durability of the Nankang AR-1 are ideal for track days, dry-road driving, and motorsport. Direct tyre response is a feature of the AR-1. The tread and casing are optimised for dry track use rather than touring. Nankang AR-1 tyres are available in stock at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Directional tread with limited grooves
  • Stiff sidewalls for cornering
  • High-silica compound for dry grip
