Description
The Nankang AR-1 is available in 13 "to 20", but more sizes are being added constantly.

The AR-1 is a faster, more refined track tyre for track enthusiasts looking for the best lap times.

With a single compound option and a single 5.5mm tread depth, the AR-1 ranks among the largest in the track tyre market.

Used as a test tyre by the M3 Cup, 330 Challenge and Classic VW Cup as well as a podium tyre in open series such as CSCC New Millennium and 750MC Club Enduro.

As the Nankang range is constantly evolving, the 2019 production 100TW tyres available in 17 inchs and up now contain a Kevlar liner, further increasing stability and consistency. Designed to compete on high-end circuits such as the Nurburgring and the Spa.

The AR-1 has obtained the European tyre certification giving it MSA List 1B approval.

5/5

Excellent tyres! Ideally, though, for my Caterham 620R I would need 185/55 R13 and 215/55 R13, as the car was originally fitted with, instead of 185/60 R13 and 205/60 R13. If you could pass this information on to the manufacturer Nankang, that would be great.

5/5

Excellent tyres in every respect for my Caterham 620 R. However, as it was originally delivered with Avon ZZR in a 55 profile instead of 60 and 215 instead of 205 for the rear axle, I believe we could gain even more performance and you would capture the entire Caterham 620 and 420 market. Could Nankang consider it? That would be brilliant!

I haven't had the chance to compare them with other tyres in the same category, but compared to standard tyres they grip amazingly.

3/5

Absolutely terrible on wet tracks, also noisy and super slippery before warming up... But on dry tracks, a fantastic tyre, and also with a rigid structure for a heavy car. Best option for the price for track days.

Review by Manu yaris gr
5/5

Incredible behavior and amazing grip, even on wet roads the car never behaves aggressively, it is progressive and very manageable and correctable! I think I can't do without it anymore, as the difference with the Michelin Pilot 4s is enormous! I recommend 110%
