Nankang NS-2R 205/45 R16 87W

The NS-2R is a high performance semi slick tyre which is extremely well suited to spirited road driving or track days. A continuous tread shoulder design improves stiffness for increased grip through the corners and the tread pattern has been developed to provide improved drainage for better wet weather handling.Ideal for high performance road driv... moreing and track day useE marked for street useExcellent stability at high speedsOptimised tread compound and pattern provides superb grip in wet or dry conditions.The NS-2R tyre has an optimised tread width which results in a contact patch up to 13% wider than regular tyres thus improving stability at high speeds.Most size options are available in a 'Street' compound with a 180 treadwear index, but there are also certain sizes which are available in a 'Motorsport Only' compound (80 or 120 treadwear index). There is also a 'Drift Spec' compound available in certain sizes (120 treadwear index). See below for size and treadwear options.Please note: When fitting, the yellow dot is the lightest part of the tyre so should be aligned with the valve stem on both aluminium and steel wheels to ensure that it is well balanced.MSA List 1B approvedE-Marked (for road use) - Excludes Motorsport only and Drift Spec compound tyres which are NOT approved for road useList Of Motorsport Only Tyre Sizes (NOT E-Marked)13" 155/65 R13 (120TW) ,175/60 R13 (120TW)14" 175/60 R14 (120TW)15" 185/55 R15 (120TW), 235/60 R15 (80TW), 245/50 R15 (80TW), 255/60 R15 (80TW), 275/50 R15 (80TW), 295/50 R15 (80TW), 315/60 R15 (80TW), 325/50 R15 (80TW)16" 215/45 R16 (120TW)18" 235/40 R18 (120TW Drift Spec), 255/35 R18 (120TW Drift Spec), 265/35 R18 (120TW Drift Spec)

The three main circumferential grooves on central tread can improve drainage efficiency and wet handling performance. Unique groove wall angle design prevents excessive stress massing to reduce irregular treadwear effectively. Continuous tread shoulder design enhances tyre stiffness when cornering. The optimized tread width has 13% wider contact pa... moretch than a regular tyre and increases stability while driving at high speed. Large blocks of tread shoulder upgrade stiffness and handling performance.
