Nankang NS-2R Performance Tyres
The Nankang NS-2R is a road-legal performance tyre designed for drivers looking for increased grip and sharper handling on both the road and track. Combining a motorsport-inspired tread pattern with a performance-focused compound, the NS-2R is a popular choice for lightweight performance cars, fast-road builds and track day vehicles.
Available in a range of sizes and compounds, the NS-2R gives enthusiasts the opportunity to tailor their tyre setup to suit how their car is driven. Whether you're looking for a more capable road tyre or a dedicated track-day option that remains road legal, the NS-2R offers a strong balance between performance, value and usability.
Why Choose Nankang NS-2R Tyres?
The NS-2R has been developed with performance driving in mind, offering increased dry grip and responsive handling compared with a conventional road tyre.
Its directional tread pattern and performance-oriented construction are designed to provide consistent contact with the road during hard cornering, braking and acceleration.
For lightweight performance cars and modified vehicles, the NS-2R can be an effective upgrade for drivers looking to extract more grip from their chassis without moving to a fully dedicated slick or competition tyre.

NS-2R Compound Options
One of the major advantages of the Nankang NS-2R is the availability of different compound options.
The ideal compound depends on how the car is used and the conditions it will be driven in. A harder compound can offer a greater balance between road usability and track performance, while a softer compound can provide increased dry grip for more track-focused applications.
Always check the specific compound and specification of the tyre before ordering to ensure it is suitable for your intended use.
Road & Track Performance
The Nankang NS-2R is particularly well suited to enthusiasts who split their driving between the road and track.
For road use, the tyre provides a more performance-focused alternative to a conventional road tyre. On track, its increased dry grip and responsive characteristics can provide greater confidence when braking and cornering at higher speeds.
As with any performance tyre, wet-weather performance and cold-weather grip can be reduced compared with a conventional road tyre, particularly with softer performance compounds. Drivers should select their tyre specification according to the conditions and intended use.

Choosing the Right NS-2R
Tyre size, compound and vehicle setup all have a significant effect on performance.
