Opinion from outside the UK

One of my Nankangs As1 was damaged on its side while falling into a hole. It was imposible to repair it. I used Michelins and they were tougher than these Nankangs. Read more Collapse

I bought two, because the other pair has not needed to be replaced. It is time for the other two and I will surelly go for Nankang again. Read more Collapse

One of the cheapest tires that match my car worked excellently. After two seasons of use I can see that it was a good buy. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

AMAZING! Given that I am not a pilot but a regular user of the car with these tyres (I changed only two during that time: those in front) the car holds the road well. In both dry and wet conditions for Nankang AS 1 I haven’t noticed a lot differences: a tad bit less cornering grip in the wet, but I had to force my hand for it to slightly lose its grip, however, I immediately recovered. Taking curves absolutely precise and immediate steering response to stress. I could not try them on snow as it hasn’t snowed yet :) and I cannot comment on the durability, as I have them only for short period of time. Overall, I can only express absolutely positive opinion. I will complete the set with the two rear tyres and then purchase those tyres again! The price is definitely excelled. The tyres in question are mounted on a Peugeot 207 1.6 HDi 110CV. Finally, I wish to point out that they are made in China (along with almost all the products that come to us) although the company Nankang, one of the oldest manufacturers of tyres, is based in Taiwan.

Product description

Nankang AS 1

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.
