Nankang Snow SV-2 Winter Tire: Superior Performance for Passenger Cars
Exceptional Winter Traction
The Nankang Snow SV-2 is meticulously designed for compact and mid-sized passenger cars, providing outstanding safety and performance during the winter season. Its innovative V-pattern tread, combined with advanced sipes technology and a silica compound, ensures enhanced grip and control across all winter conditions.
Efficient Water and Snow Drainage
Equipped with four continuous V-shaped grooves, this tire effectively channels water away, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and maintaining stability on wet surfaces. The increased pore volume by 32% maximizes the contact area, improving friction and shortening braking distances on both dry and wet roads, while also boosting traction on icy surfaces.
Enhanced Handling and Stability
The three-dimensional, robust sipe design enhances the rigidity of the tread blocks, resulting in shorter braking distances and improved handling and cornering on icy roads. Additionally, the stable side grooves prevent uneven wear and further improve maneuverability on snowy terrains.
Advanced Tread Compound
The tread compound, enriched with natural core powder, is engineered to collect more ice, ensuring superior grip and performance in harsh winter conditions. With the Nankang Snow SV-2, you can drive confidently, knowing your vehicle is equipped to handle the challenges of winter driving.
Nankang Snow SV-2 is the tyre of a new generation, combining exceptionally responsive steering feel with the smooth and quiet refinement. Even at the high speed, SV-2 provides drivers with the confidence in various weather conditions of winter. A winter tyre for compact and middle-class vehicles: the V-shaped tread design of SV-2 tyres ensure for added security in all driving conditions, thanks to its special lamella technology and silicone mix.
Circumferential V-shaped four-groove design enhances drainage efficiency on the wet road. The enlarged contact area at the void ratio at 32% shortens braking distance on dry/wet road and enhance icy grip. Three-dimensional solid sipe enhances pattern block stiffness, shortens braking distance on dry/wet road and upgrades manoeuvrability & cornering ability on the icy road. Solid groove wall design prevents irregular wear and improves snow manoeuvrability. Unique compound enhances tread stiffness and surface friction to shorten braking distance.
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.
