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-2+

A budget performance road tyre tuned for comfort, quietness and wet-weather drainage on everyday cars.

The Nankang AS-2+ is a value-focused performance tyre aimed at drivers who want dependable everyday manners without a premium price. Wide circumferential grooves and an updated tread profile help clear standing water quickly, giving strong resistance to aquaplaning, while serrated groove walls and chamfered shoulder grooves keep road noise low. A reinforced sidewall adds stiffness for steady handling, and low rolling resistance supports fuel economy. Independent testing rates it as comfortable and quiet, with a bias towards refinement over outright sporting grip.
