    The AR-1 is a faster, more refined track tire, aimed at the track enthusiast who is hunting lap times. 

    With only one compound option and with all tires being produced with 5.5mm tread depth, the AR-1 is positioning itself in amongst the greats of the track tire market.

    Used as a control tire by championships like BMW 1 series SuperCup, Civic Challenge & Classic VW Cup as well as a podium winning tyre in open tire series such as Tourismo X,  BMWCCR and 750MC Club Enduro

    As the Nankang range is ever evolving, the 2019 production 100TW tyres in 17" and above now contain a kevlar lining, this further increases stability and consistency. Designed to combat high intensity circuits such as Nurburgring and Spa.
