The Nankang AS-2+ is a max performance summer tire engineered for drivers seeking a balance between sporty handling and reasonable tread life. With a UTQG treadwear rating of 240, it aims to deliver satisfying grip without sacrificing longevity. This tire is designed for modern vehicles and drivers who prioritize confident handling in both dry and wet conditions.
The AS-2+ incorporates design features to enhance its performance capabilities. Wider section grooves in the tread pattern promote efficient water drainage, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and improving wet weather handling. Chamfered lateral grooves on the tread shoulder are implemented to minimize road noise, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience. The tire's construction includes a new profile design and reinforced sidewall to enhance stiffness and improve overall handling responsiveness. The void ratio of the inside and outside are respectively 38% and 34%, which improve drainage efficiency and wet handling.
While specific compound details are not available, the AS-2+ is designed to offer maximum grip in both dry and wet conditions. The grooves allow more water containing for better drainage performance. Serrated wall of circumferential grooves discharges water effectively and reduces the noise caused by the friction between airflow and groove wall. The chamfering angles of lateral grooves reduce rolling sound and improve block stiffness.
