The Nankang AR-1 is a competition-grade, DOT-approved semi-slick tire designed for the driver who prioritizes lap times above all else. Engineered with a focus on maximum dry grip and rapid thermal activation, the AR-1 has become a staple in time-attack and club racing circles. While it remains street-legal, its aggressive "100 Treadwear" compound and minimal void ratio make it a significant leap forward in raw traction compared to standard performance tires. Whether you are hunting a personal best at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park or driving to a weekend event in the York Region, the AR-1 delivers uncompromising mechanical grip.
Specialized Competition Compound: A high-mu (friction) rubber formulation designed to reach its optimal operating temperature (70°C–100°C) quickly, providing maximum "stick" almost immediately.
Large Outboard Shoulder Blocks: These massive, continuous tread blocks provide extreme lateral stiffness, minimizing deformation under high-G cornering for a more predictable and planted feel.
Inner Angled Pattern Design: Features a unique inner tread geometry specifically dialed to sharpen steering response and provide crisp, immediate turn-in during aggressive maneuvers.
High-Rigidity Casing with Kevlar: Sizes 17" and larger are reinforced with a Kevlar lining, enhancing casing strength and stability during sustained high-speed track use.
Refined Contact Patch: The semi-slick design maximizes the amount of rubber in contact with the road, delivering superior braking performance and the ability to put high power down efficiently.
Season: Extreme Performance Summer / Competition
Tire Type: Semi-Slick (DOT Approved)
Vehicle Compatibility: Track-Dedicated Cars, Time Attack Builds, and High-Performance Sports Cars
Available Sizes: 12" to 21" wheel diameters (UTQG 100-AA-A)
Warranty: Nankang Limited Warranty (Note: Competition tires do not carry a treadwear mileage warranty and should not be used in freezing temperatures).
Tire pricing and availability vary based on specific size requirements (width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter). Sparky X provides professional mobile tire installation throughout the Greater Toronto Area, Durham, and York Region—we bring the tire shop to you.
