The Brand

Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation is a Taiwanese manufacturer and the country's first domestic tyre producer, with roots in a Taipei rubber plant dating to the mid-1940s and reorganisation into its current form in 1959. It builds a full range from touring and SUV tyres to winter and competition rubber, and is especially known among enthusiasts for its semi-slick track tyres. It suits budget-conscious drivers and club motorsport competitors seeking grip at an accessible price.

The Pattern
AS-1

Comfort-focused Nankang AS-1 with quiet running and steady handling for everyday cars.

The Nankang AS-1 is a comfort-oriented pattern built around a quiet, settled ride for saloons, hatchbacks and small city cars. Broad outer grooves and a central channel with fine sipes help clear surface water, while the stiffer, high-rigidity shoulder blocks firm up cornering and steering. A multi-pitch tread design keeps running noise down, and the shoulder grooves are shaped to promote even wear over the life of the tyre. It comes in a wide spread of rim sizes from 13 to 21 inches.

  • Quiet-running tread using a multi-pitch design
  • Broad outer grooves and central channel help clear water
  • Rigid shoulder blocks sharpen cornering and steering
  • Fine sipes soak up road impacts for a smoother ride
  • Shoulder grooves shaped to encourage even wear
Best for Everyday saloons, hatchbacks and small city cars on a budget
