Nankang Noble Sport NS-20: High-Performance Tire for Demanding Drivers
Advanced Technology for Superior Performance
Introducing the Nankang Noble Sport NS-20, a cutting-edge tire designed to meet the highest standards of performance. This tire combines enhanced handling and reduced rolling noise, thanks to its innovative silica tread compound. Experience exceptional wet grip, remarkable cornering stability, and impressive durability with the NS-20.
Optimized for Wet Conditions
The NS-20 features four straight, wide grooves that significantly improve water drainage and maneuverability on wet roads. Additionally, two straight, deeper grooves on the tire shoulders not only aid in draining the main grooves but also minimize irregular tread wear.
Noise Reduction and Comfort
Small lateral notches are incorporated to reduce rolling noise, while sipes on the tire shoulders decrease the stiffness of the tire blocks, further lowering road noise and enhancing comfort. The Nankang design team utilizes 5-pitch computer simulation technology, with a new pitch sequence that effectively decreases noise at high speeds.
Designed for Passenger Cars
The Nankang Noble Sport NS-20, with its dimensions of 225/50 R16 96V XL, is specifically crafted for passenger cars, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride without compromising on performance. Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the NS-20 offers a superior driving experience in all conditions.
New High Tech Product
The NS-20 is Nankang’s new high tech product and was developed to the highest standards. It unifies improved handling with minimal noise levels thanks to a new silicone compound in the tread and features excellent wet grip, extraordinary curve stability and high mileage.
Straight Wide Grooves:
4 straight wide grooves enhance tyre drainage efficiency and manoeuvrability on wet road condition.
Sub-Straight Grooves:
The two sub straight grooves on tyre shoulders assist the main grooves drainage efficiency and reduce tread wear.
Tiny Lateral Kerfs:
The kerfs can reduce pattern noise caused by tyre rolling.
Sipes:
Sipes on tyre shoulder reduce tyre block rigidity, lower the noise from the road, and increase comfortability.
NANKANG design team creates NS-20 with 5 pitches computer simulation technology to decrease noise at high speed.
Brand New Compound:
New silica compound makes NS-20 have excellent grip ability on both dry and wet surface.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
