Nankang Noble Sport NS-20: The Ultimate High-Tech Tire for Passenger Cars
Exceptional Performance and Advanced Technology
Discover the Nankang Noble Sport NS-20, a state-of-the-art tire designed to meet the highest demands of modern driving. Engineered for superior handling and reduced road noise, this tire features an innovative silica tread compound that ensures excellent wet grip, outstanding cornering stability, and long-lasting performance.
Superior Wet Performance and Maneuverability
The NS-20 is equipped with four straight, wide grooves that significantly enhance drainage, improving maneuverability on wet roads. Additionally, the two straight, deeper grooves on the tire shoulders not only aid in drainage but also minimize uneven tread wear, ensuring a smoother and more stable drive.
Enhanced Comfort and Reduced Noise
Small lateral notches are strategically placed to reduce rolling noise, while the sipes on the tire shoulders decrease block stiffness, further reducing road noise and enhancing driving comfort. The NANKANG design team has employed advanced 5-pitch computer simulation technology, optimizing the pitch sequence to effectively lower noise levels at high speeds.
Perfect for Every Season
Designed for passenger cars, the Nankang Noble Sport NS-20 is your ideal companion for all-season driving. Whether navigating through wet conditions or enjoying a smooth ride on dry roads, this tire promises reliability and performance, making every journey a pleasure.
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.
D
A
72dB
