Tires Nankang AR1 for Exige V6-Range
Nankang's latest development in Semislick is the AR-1-Tire!
The AR-1 is a fast and good-handling tire. After tests in Spa and on the Nordschleife, we can finally say that both the grip level and the performance are very good. The tire is also very controllably and giving a good feedback to the driver. Nankang has assured that they want to do some development in the tire-weight, because the tire is still quite heavy compared to the competitor ones. As an alternative to the remaining tires on the market, this tire is therefore currently our recommendation in the price-performance ratio segment.
Available in sizes:
Front tire size: 215/40R17 87W
Efficiency: D, Wet: D, Loudness: 72 dB (two bars)
Front tire size: 215/45R17 91Y
Efficiency: D, Wet: D, Loudness: 72 dB (two bars)
Rear tire size: 265/35R18 97Y
Efficiency: D, Wet: D, Loudness: 73 dB (two bars)
Attention:
Please note the speed index: W = max. 270 km/h. Also, a 40 cross section does not get an allowness for street use on the Exige V6 (factory setting -> 45!). So the size 215/40R17 87W only makes sense for pure racetrack use only!
