Nankang launches SUV winter range
Nankang has added to its winter tyre line-up with the release of the Winter Activa SV-55. The new SUV-specific tyre is available in 11 sizes for 16 to 20-inch rim diameters and in H, V and W speed ratings. The Taiwanese tyre maker says the asymmetrical tread pattern used on the SV-55 provides high drainage performance, while the large blocks on the outer edge are said to provide comfortable cornering maneuverability.
Four circumferential groove tread patterns with a 38 per cent void ratio are intended to provide effective drainage performance, thus preventing aquaplaning or skidding on wet surfaces. Broad circumferential grooves and thin lateral grooves are also there to improve drainage. To minimise road noise, the SV-55 features a 2-in-1 pitch design, Nankang reports.
