205/50 R 17 tl. 93 V NANKANG Sportnex AS-2+

The Nankang Sportnex AS-2+ summer tire offers a great deal of driving pleasure at a low price. The tire impresses with its sporty setup without compromising ride comfort. A plus of the Nankang tire is its low rolling resistance. If you're looking for value for money and low operating costs when purchasing a tire, the Nankang summer tire is the right choice. The Nankang tire proves that it lives up to sporty ambitions on both dry and wet roads.

For a tire in this price range, the Nankang scores with above-average performance. The porosity of the inner and outer treads is 38% and 34%, respectively, and it can also improve drainage performance and handling on wet roads. With a wider circumferential groove, the inner/outer groove sections have been increased by 21.3% and 43.8%, respectively, compared to the conventional design. This increases the volume to absorb more water for better drainage performance.

A completely new tread pattern and a reinforced sidewall design increase tire rigidity. Serrated circumferential groove wall: Drains water promptly and effectively and reduces the noise generated by friction between the airflow and the groove wall. For the lateral inner and outer grooves of the tread shoulder, we use a chamfered design to optimize the angle of the lateral grooves, thus reducing tire rolling noise and effectively improving block rigidity.
