Nankang Sportnex NS-2R: Ultimate Performance for Your Passenger Car
Exceptional Wet Handling
The Nankang Sportnex NS-2R tire is engineered with three continuous main grooves on the central tread, ensuring efficient water drainage and superior wet handling. This feature is designed to enhance your driving confidence in rainy conditions, providing a safe and stable ride.
Innovative Tread Design
The unique camber design of the grooved tread sides helps prevent excessive pressure build-up, effectively reducing the risk of uneven tread wear. This innovation ensures a longer lifespan for your tires, offering excellent value over time.
Enhanced Grip and Stability
With an uninterrupted tread shoulder design, the NS-2R enhances tire stiffness, delivering increased grip during cornering. The optimized tread width, boasting a 13% wider contact area compared to standard tire designs, significantly improves high-speed stability, allowing you to enjoy a smoother and more controlled driving experience.
Robust Shoulder Blocks
The large blocks on the tread shoulder are specifically designed to boost stiffness and improve cornering performance. This feature ensures that your vehicle maintains excellent handling characteristics, even during aggressive driving maneuvers.
Perfect for Street Cars
Designed for passenger cars, this tire is ideal for those who demand high performance and reliability. Whether you're navigating city streets or hitting the open road, the Nankang Sportnex NS-2R offers the perfect blend of safety, durability, and performance.
The three main circumferential grooves on central tread can improve drainage efficiency and wet handling performance.
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
B
73dB
