AR1 275/35 x 15 semi slick – street-approved circuit tyre for serious lap time hunters

Looking for a 15-inch performance tyre that delivers qualifying pace with road use approval? The AR1 by Nankang in 275/35 x 15 is a proven semi-slick built for aggressive cornering, rapid warm-up and consistent grip over long sessions. Priced per tyre.

This competition-derived track day tyre is designed for drivers chasing PBs in sprints, time attack, hillclimb and club racing, while remaining legal for the drive to and from the circuit. With a single compound and a 5.5 mm new tread depth, it offers predictable handling, strong lateral grip and repeatable performance across heat cycles.

Why enthusiasts choose AR1

  • Semi slick tread design for maximum dry grip and sharp turn-in
  • Consistent lap-after-lap performance with a stable carcass
  • 5.5 mm new tread depth for optimal feedback and wear balance
  • Street-approved with EU tyre labelling and Motorsport UK List 1B eligibility
  • One compound for simplicity – no guesswork on compounds or mixes

Trusted in competition

Used as a control tyre in M3 Cup, 330 Challenge and Classic VW Cup, and a podium winner in open-tyre series including CSCC New Millennium and 750MC Club Enduro. If you want proven pace without the rain compromise of a full slick, this is the go-to choice.

Ideal usage split

Optimised for predominantly circuit driving with occasional fast-road use. Perfect for track day cars and club-level competition where dry grip and durability matter.
