OVERVIEW

The Nankang Toursport 611 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Nankang offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. It combines the all season compound and the ideal tread design to boost the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The tread design's lateral groove and siping placement heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the model's performance. The all season compound keeps the tire pliable all year round by maintaining its rubber flexibility. The tread's circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, optimizing the tire's surface contact in wet and winter conditions. In this manner, the tire avoids hydroplaning.

The tread design's close and constant surface contact improves the controllability. The better contact with the road enables the tire to boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the steering is quicker and more accurate, while the structural stability is guaranteed throughout the drive. The tread's ideal siping and lateral groove placement shortens the braking distance. They create friction between the tire and the road surface to decrease the stopping distance with the stronger braking power. This combination ensures the driver's full control over the vehicle in various weather conditions during the tire's performance.

The tread design manages to increase the tire's tread life. The symmetric tread pattern keeps the surface contact and allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively avoid irregular wear formations across the tire's surface area, enhancing the tread life significantly. The longer service life lengthens the model's overall usability.

The Toursport 611 offers high driving comfort levels. The tread design features a variable pitch sequence which minimizes the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The variable pitch pattern creates a special sound frequency while the tires are in motion. This frequency manages to cancel out the sound waves generated during the drive, before they can reach the vehicle's cabin and dampen the passengers' driving enjoyment. The result is a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
