Nankang AS-1

Experience the Nankang AS-1

The Nankang AS-1 is a budget summer tyre designed for regular, everyday passenger cars. Meant for daily use and despite the affordable price, the Nankang AS-1 is surprisingly reliable for the cost. It performs well on dry and wet surfaces due to its modern asymmetrical tread pattern that provides a high level of grip. Its external tread ensures wet weather performance while the internal tread's serrated-edged strips make the tyre easier to handle and steering more precise. For added safety, arched external grooves give the Nankang AS-1 much-needed skid protection, and larger outside shoulder blocks make it a more stable tyre whatever the driving speed

Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

340 A A

•  340 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  A Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

The Nankang AS-1 is an Asymmetrical Tyre

Asymmetrical tread patterns combine different tread types to deliver maximum wet and dry road grip via its inner and middle tread, while outside, larger and rigid tread blocks dominate the design to improve cornering.

To avoid fitting mistakes, asymmetrical tyres are labelled "outside" and "inside only" so you know if they will face your vehicle or out.
