Nankang Launches NS-20

Nankang Rubber Tire Corp. Ltd. has launched the Noble Sport NS-20 ultra-high performance tyre. According to the company, it is designed to deliver “the perfect balance of comfort and technical performance,” and is intended for fitment on luxury performance saloons. The Noble Sport NS-20 is available in a range of 16 to 20 inch diameter sizes, covering H, V, W, Y and Z speed ratings (for speeds in excess of 210 km/h to 300 km/h).

The NS-20 features a dual layer tread design to enhance dry traction while its four-groove directional pattern has been included in order to improve wet traction. The tread has been designed with a lateral groove and multi-sipe design in order to curb noise generation.

In addition, the new NS-20 also features a Step Wear Indicator (SWI), a kind of graduated tread wear indicated, designed to help customers to understand when is the best time to replace their tyres.
