Nankang ICE ACTIVA 2: The Ultimate Winter Tire for Passenger Cars

Outstanding Performance in Snow and Ice

The Nankang ICE ACTIVA 2 is engineered with a directional, multi-layered tread design that features an impressive 152 circumferential lateral grooves. This innovative design ensures efficient water and snow evacuation, providing a complete contact patch for superior traction. According to test results, this tire improves snow braking performance by 3% compared to its predecessor, the ICE-1.

Enhanced Stability and Noise Reduction

The offset design of the lateral grooves at the tread center aids in maintaining a straight driving line on snowy roads while also disrupting sound waves to reduce noise. This feature ensures a quieter and more comfortable ride, even in challenging winter conditions.

Improved Grip and Traction

With its wave-like design on the groove bases and walls, the ICE ACTIVA 2 enhances the embedding and gripping of ice and snow, boosting traction and performance. The micro-vein design on the tread blocks increases friction during the tire's early life, providing an aesthetic upgrade to the winter tire profile.

Maximized Contact Area

The off-road-like tread design and irregular tread block pattern on the tire shoulders maximize the contact area on icy and snowy roads, further enhancing snow traction. The tire features two different sipe designs: more wavy sipes in the densely packed tread center improve ice and snow performance, while fewer wavy sipes on the shoulders maintain block stiffness and enhance cornering performance.

Advanced Rubber Compound

Equipped with a brand-new rubber compound, the ICE ACTIVA 2 delivers nearly 20% better performance in dry and wet braking tests compared to the ICE-1. The tire's EU label ratings for rolling resistance and wet grip range from D to C, ensuring a balanced performance for various driving conditions. Choose the Nankang ICE ACTIVA 2 for your passenger car this winter and experience exceptional control, safety, and comfort on icy and snowy roads.

• Directional and multi-pitch tread pattern design(contributing increased circumferential lateral groove quantity to 152 pcs) can discharge water/snow efficiently during driving for getting complete footprint, and it caused upgraded drainage performance on wet roads and enhanced snow traction. According to vehicle test results, snow braking of ICE-2 is 3% better than its predecessor(ICE-1).
• Staggered lateral groove design on tread center can be helpful to straight driving on snowy roads and also has sound-wave disturbing effect for reducing noise.
• Ice/snow is able to be grasped and embedded with wave surface design for groove bottom and wall for enhancing traction and upgrade ice/snow performance.(refer to the photos below)
• Micro vein design on blocks can enhance friction in early tire life and also beautify tread surface of winter tires.
• Resembling off-road profile design and irregular tread shoulder block design can maximize footprint on icy/snowy roads and further enhance snow traction.
• Two different sipe design on tire center and shoulder. Sipe with more waves allocated densely on tire center can enhance ice and snow performance. Sipe design with less waves allocated on tire shoulder can retain block stiffness and upgrade cornering performance.
• ICE-2 with brand new tread compound has almost 20% better than its predecessor ICE-1 from the dry and wet braking test results. RRC rating for EU label: D-C. Wet grip rating for EU label: D(only for the smallest size)-C.
