Nankang AS 1 is a model intended for different weather conditions in summer. With its innovative technologies, it is mainly recommended for the vehicles which travel distances above the average. The compound used to produce Nankang AS 1 includes silica. Thanks to this, the tread is more resistant to abrasion and has a higher durability. The AS 1 model is equipped with an asymmetric tread consisting of two separate sections having different functions. The external section is responsible for an effective skid protection thanks to its arched grooves and wide circumferential channels. The internal section is built of strips with serrated edges and a notch which allows continued highly smooth driving.
Nankang was founded in 1959 in Taiwan, under the name Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation Ltd. Due to its dynamic growth, the group started to export tyres to foreign markets. Through this, in 1972 Nankang opened their first branch office in Australia. According to statistics, Nankang products are still among the most popular tyres in that country. In the following years, the export was extended to North America and Europe. The Taiwanese company also owns such brands as Sonar Tire and Roadiac.
