Nankang NK Utility SP-7
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Comfortable driving experience
- Longer lasting tread life
- Enhanced controllability
OVERVIEW
The Nankang NK Utility SP-7 is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. It has some touring sizes available as well.
The tire promotes superb all weather road gripping ability. The symmetric tread pattern with the curved tread blocks, siping detail and shoulder tread block sequences increase the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The model also actively avoids hydroplaning when driving in wet and winter road conditions as the arching and dual circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from beneath the tire footprint. The result of the enhanced traction and hydroplaning resistance is a safer all weather driving experience.
The model offers a comfortable and quiet drive. The tread pattern features curved tread blocks with an intricate siping detail to boost the tire's contact with the road. As the tire is able to closely follow the road surface, it lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The road noise generated while the tires are in motion is also negated. The special noise reducing shoulder bar cancels the tread pattern noise created during the drive. In this manner, the driving experience is more enjoyable.
The tread pattern's curved tread blocks and siping detail prevents irregular wear formations. They evenly spread the force of acceleration, cornering and braking out across the tread area. This equal distribution of the driving pressure forces the tread to wear out evenly throughout the tire's life. The longer lasting tread wear extends the tire's usability and tread life greatly.
The NK Utility SP-7 increases the handling and controllability. The tread design's segmented shoulder blocks improve the steering responsiveness and accuracy, allowing a swift and precise response to the driver's instructions. The scalloped center rib maintains constant road contact which stabilizes the tire against the driving pressure affecting it. The special symmetric tread design also manages to shorten the braking distance by improving the friction created during braking. Therefore, the tire's controllability and driving security are enhanced.
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.
