Sportnex AR-1
The Nankang AR-1 is the best-selling tire in our range, of course this is not without reason. Vanwege zijn lage Treadwear (100) is de band zeer geschikt om snelle rondetijden mee neer te zetten op droog wegdek. The short warm-up time makes the tire widely used during trackdays and (race) events such as Time-Attack, Dutch Superlap, Sprint and Endurance races and Drag races. The AR-1 uses the latest tire technology and delivers tremendous performance on the track. The tire is available from 12 to 21 inches.

The Nankang Sportnex AR-1 has an optimal operating window between 71 and 104 degrees Celsius.
The optimum camber adjustment of the AR-1 is between -1 and -3 degrees.
When measuring tire temperatures, make sure you always measure with a “pricker. An infrared temperature gauge will provide an unrealistic picture of the tire’s actual temperature.
Tire pressure:
Although the optimal operating window of the tire is leading for its optimal performance, the following rules of thumb for tire pressure can be used to get a first setup. Relative to the car weight the following values can be used (measured warm):
- < 800 kg: 23 – 27.5 psi (1.6 – 1.9 bar)
- 800 – 1000 kg: 24 – 32 psi (1.7 – 2.2 bar)
- 1,000 – 1,400 kg: 27.5 – 37 psi (1.9 – 2.6 bar)
- 1,400 kg >: 34 – 42 psi (2.3 – 2.9 bar)
Please note that the maximum allowable tire pressure is 50 psi (3.5 bar)
Fitting note:
When fitting, the yellow dot is the lightest part of the tire, it must be aligned with the heaviest point of the rim (usually the valve) on both aluminum and steel wheels to ensure the tire is properly balanced. Always have your tires mounted by trained personnel. Mounting tires can be dangerous.
