About the Nankang NS 2R Sportnex
Nankang NS 2R Sportnex is a performance tyre for drivers who want strong grip, responsive handling and lateral stability during fast cornering. Nankang describes it as a race-inspired option for confident driving on the road and track. It suits performance cars, modified cars and drivers who place a higher value on dry-road handling than everyday touring comfort. Two compound options are available in the range, including a longer-lasting street version and a stickier option intended for track use.
Its asymmetric tread uses a wide contact patch to support stability and grip, while large shoulder blocks and a continuous shoulder design help maintain stiffness through corners. Three main circumferential grooves help move water away from the tread, supporting wet handling. The tread also uses an angled groove-wall design to help limit irregular wear, plus a silica compound developed for performance driving.
