The Nankang AS-1 has been designed with a special focus on excellent wet and dry grip, as well as comfortable and quiet driving characteristics. In addition, the tyre's rolling resistance and wear resistance have been optimised for maximum performance. In particular, the unique Silica compound increases wet grip and reduces rolling resistance, thus reducing fuel consumption. The two wide longitudinal grooves on the outer side effectively remove water and reduce the risk of water sliding. The wide and laterally stiff outer beads of the tyre improve manoeuvrability and stability in corners. The longitudinal groove through the inner diameter of the asymmetric tyre reduces unnecessary stiffness on the inside and smoothes out wear, thus extending tyre life. The pattern is acoustically optimised to minimise disturbing tyre noise. Narrow sipes on the surface soften road surface irregularities and increase driving comfort. Taiwan-based Nankang is one of Asia's oldest and most traditional tyre manufacturers, with know-how and technology at the forefront of its field. Nankang has long been committed to putting the quality of its tyres first, with the principle that Nankang tyres not only meet but exceed all modern requirements. In fact, Nankang tyres stand comparison with tyres from any other manufacturer.
