Frequently Asked Questions
Still Have Questions?
Everything you need to know before fitting the Nankang AR-1.Is the Nankang AR-1 road legal?
Yes. The Nankang AR-1 is a road-legal semi-slick tyre. While it is approved for road use, it has been developed primarily for track-focused driving and motorsport applications.
Can I drive the AR-1 in wet weather?
The AR-1 can be driven on the road in wet conditions, however it is a track-focused semi-slick with limited water evacuation compared to a conventional road tyre. Extra caution should be exercised in heavy rain or standing water.
Are Nankang AR-1 tyres sold individually or as a set?
All Nankang AR-1 tyres sold by Halo Garage are priced and sold individually unless otherwise stated. Please ensure you add the correct quantity required for your vehicle before checkout.
Can I daily drive the AR-1?
The AR-1 is capable of road use, however it has been engineered with track performance as the primary objective. For vehicles used predominantly for commuting or everyday driving, a less aggressive performance tyre may be a more suitable choice.
Does the AR-1 require heat cycling before use?
No special heat cycling procedure is required before use. However, as with most motorsport-oriented tyres, performance and longevity can benefit from progressively bringing the tyre up to operating temperature during initial sessions.
What tyre pressures should I run on track?
Recommended pressures will vary depending on vehicle weight, suspension setup, driving style and track conditions. Always monitor hot pressures during track use and adjust accordingly. As a general guideline, consult your vehicle or race engineer's recommendations and make incremental adjustments based on tyre behaviour.
What if my required size is not currently listed?
The Halo Garage online store reflects our current stocked range. If your required size is not currently listed, please contact us and we'll gladly advise on availability and potential lead times where possible.
How long does a Nankang AR-1 typically last?
Tyre life will vary significantly depending on vehicle setup, alignment, track conditions, driving style and usage. The AR-1 is designed for maximum dry performance and consistency, therefore mileage expectations will generally be lower than a conventional ultra-high-performance road tyre.
