• Track-optimized compound formulated to quickly reach ideal operating temperature for immediate performance
• Two-ply polyester casing with dual steel belts and aramid cap ply for enhanced stability and high-speed capability
• Broad-shouldered outer tread elements with minimal void area for maximum lateral grip
• Two wide circumferential grooves on inner tread provide exceptional water evacuation and wet weather capability
• Specialized sidewall compound aids in heat management while enhancing stiffness for predictable handling

Competition Credentials: The CR-S is legal for SCCA, NASA, and Gridlife competition as a 200TW tire. It features a UTQG rating of 200 AA A and is MSUK Blue Book List 1B approved for motorsports use.

Important Note: Like all extreme performance summer tires, the Sportnex CR-S is not intended to be stored, serviced, or driven in near-freezing or below-freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice. These tires benefit from an initial break-in heat cycle before aggressive track use for optimal performance and longevity.
