OVERVIEW

The Nankang Sportnex NS-25 is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufacture for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Nankang offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty for the V and H speed rated sizes of this tire model.

The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The dual zone asymmetric tread design, with the detailed siping design, and the silica-based tire compound work together to ensure dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The asymmetric tread's inner tread area increases the dry weather traction, while the outer side improves the wet and winter weather road grip. The silica-enhanced compound maintains its optimal flexibility throughout the year and ensures a safer driving experience. The wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint.

The model guarantees superb controllability. The silica tire compound firmly grips the road surface, while the solid center rib maintains constant road contact. This combination increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes quick and precise to the driver's commands, while the tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it during the drive. The silica compound also manages to shorten the braking distance as it firmly grips the road surface, which enhances the braking capability. This enhances the driving safety greatly.

The tread pattern and the tire compound combined offer an extended tread life and tire usability. The tread pattern evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread area, preventing irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. The silica compound succeeds in slowing the tread wear rate down thanks to its road contact. The slower even wear extends the tread life and the tire's usability in all conditions.

The Sportnex NS-25's optimized tread pattern ensures a quiet driving experience. The optimized tread design creates a variable pitch sequence that negates the road noise heard while the tires are in motion. This lowers the road and tread pattern noise generated and heard in the vehicle's cabin.

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.
