Tire Nankang CR-S 235/40 R18 95Y, summer radial 235/40R18 95Y, load index 95, speed Y

Nankang CR-S 235/40 R18 95Y is a summer radial tyre engineered for passenger cars and drivers seeking stable handling and responsive steering at higher speeds. With a 235/40 R18 dimension, a load index of 95 and a Y speed rating, this tyre balances traction on dry and wet surfaces with comfort and predictable behaviour. The tread design and compound are optimised for seasonal driving conditions, aiming to provide consistent contact with the road and reduced aquaplaning risk in typical summer weather.

Advantages

The Nankang CR-S delivers a combination of grip and stability through a tread pattern designed for water evacuation and contact patch control. Its construction supports the 95 load index, providing load-bearing capacity suitable for many passenger vehicles. The Y speed rating indicates capability for sustained higher-speed driving when used within vehicle and legal limits. The tyre's design also seeks to moderate rolling noise and enhance ride comfort for everyday driving.

Suitable for

• Passenger cars with 18-inch rims requiring 235/40 R18 tyres
• Drivers who need a balance of dry and wet traction during summer
• Vehicles where a load index of 95 is appropriate
• Owners seeking tyres with a Y speed rating for higher-speed stability

Key specifications

• Tyre type: summer radial
• Size: 235/40 R18
• Load index: 95 (load-carrying capacity suited to medium-weight passenger cars)
• Speed rating: Y (approved for higher-speed use within legal and vehicle limits)
• Intended surfaces: designed for dry and wet road conditions in summer

How to use

Fit the tyre on a compatible 18-inch rim and ensure tyre pressure matches the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation for the axle position and load. Check wheel alignment and balance at installation to maintain even wear and handling characteristics. Monitor tyre pressure and visual condition regularly; replace the tyre when tread depth reaches legal limits or when damage is present. Use this tyre only in appropriate seasonal conditions and store off-season tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain manufacturer-recommended tyre pressures, rotate tyres periodically to promote even wear, and avoid prolonged driving on heavily damaged road surfaces. Replace summer tyres before winter conditions to ensure safety and traction.
