Nankang AS-1 has been designed with special emphasis on excellent wet and dry grip, as well as pleasant and quiet driving characteristics. In addition, the tire's rolling resistance and wear resistance have been optimized to the best possible extent.

• The unique Silica compound increases wet grip and reduces rolling resistance, thus reducing fuel consumption.
• Two wide longitudinal grooves on the outside effectively remove water and reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
• The wide and laterally stiff tread blocks on the outer edge of the tire improve maneuverability and stability in curves.
• The longitudinal groove running through the inner shoulder of the asymmetric tire reduces unnecessary stiffness on the inside and evens out tire wear, thus extending its service life.
• The pattern is acoustically optimized to minimize disturbing tire noise.
• The narrow lamellas on the surface soften unevenness in the road surface and increase driving comfort.

Taiwanese Nankang is one of Asia's oldest and most traditional tire manufacturers, with know-how and technology at the top of its field. Nankang has long strived to focus primarily on the quality of its tires, the principle being that Nankang tires not only meet, but also exceed all modern requirements. Nankang tires can withstand comparison with tires from any other manufacturer.
