Nankang Ultra Sport NS-2: The Perfect Tire for All Conditions
Exceptional Water Dispersion for Enhanced Safety
The Nankang Ultra Sport NS-2 tire, with its 225/55 ZR17 101V XL dimension, is expertly designed for passenger cars, offering outstanding performance in various driving conditions. Its dual central grooves work in harmony with the V-shaped tread pattern to efficiently channel water away, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning. This feature ensures that you maintain control even on wet roads, providing a safer driving experience.
Superior Dry Performance
On dry surfaces, the V-profile ribs of the NS-2 ensure an even distribution of pressure across the tire's contact patch. This design allows for optimal power transfer, enhancing the tire's grip and stability. Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the NS-2 delivers reliable performance and handling.
Quiet and Comfortable Ride
The innovative 2-in-1 pitch design and variable tread width are engineered to minimize road noise, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable ride. This feature makes long journeys more enjoyable, as the tire effectively dampens vibrations and road noise.
Enhanced Durability and Longevity
The computer-simulated V-shaped drainage grooves not only improve resistance to aquaplaning at high speeds but also contribute to the tire's overall durability. Additionally, the sipes on the shoulder edges are strategically placed to ensure even tread wear, prolonging the life of the tire.
Optimized for High-Speed Performance
Designed for those who demand performance, the Nankang Ultra Sport NS-2 excels at high speeds, maintaining stability and control. Its robust construction and advanced tread design make it an ideal choice for drivers seeking both safety and performance in a tire. Choose the Nankang Ultra Sport NS-2 for a blend of safety, comfort, and longevity, ensuring a superior driving experience in all weather conditions.
The two central grooves of the NS-2, along with the V-shaped tread of the tyre, improve the drainage of water on the tyre surface and hence reduce the risk aquaplaning.
When dry, the V-shaped tread ribs ensure a uniform pressure distribution so that the entire contact surface of the tyre can be used for power transmission.
Computer simulated V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning at high speed running through deep water.
Two-in-one pitches and variable width tread profile help to reduce pattern noise and provide a quieter comfort.
Shoulder edge sipes ensure even and prolonged tread wear.
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.
