245/35R19 NANKANG AR-1 93Y XL Motorsport Tyres Road Legal (sold individually)

Serious grip for serious lap times. This 245/35 ZR19 AR-1 in 93Y XL is a street‑approved semi slick designed for drivers who want race‑car feel with road legality.

Engineered for track day addicts and club motorsport, this competition‑focused radial delivers the sharp turn‑in, monster lateral grip and repeatable performance you need to chase PBs. With a single 100TW compound, a uniform 5.5 mm tread depth and a construction tuned for stability, consistency and heat management, the AR-1 has become a favourite among enthusiasts who spend most of their time on circuit but still drive to and from the venue.

Proven in the paddock: used as a control tyre in the M3 Cup, 330 Challenge and Classic VW Cup, with podiums in series like CSCC New Millennium and 750MC Club Enduro. That real‑world pedigree translates into confidence, feedback and pace you can trust.
