The Nankang EX500 is a summer passenger tire. This high performance model makes sure that your driving experience will be full of comfort and safety.
Firstly, the open shoulders improve flexibility, making it easier for the Nankang EX500 to adapt to road surfaces during sharp turns or high speed maneuvers. For summer HP tires, this feature increases both safety and performance. Then, the deep grooves play a key role in water management, ensuring that water is quickly moved away from the Nankang EX500’s surface to maintain traction during wet conditions. Additionally, deep grooves provide stability on dry roads by giving the tread blocks enough space to flex and adapt without compromising grip. And, the special tread design reduces rolling resistance, which improves fuel efficiency and makes the ride smoother. It also delivers better traction by keeping the tread connected to the ground.
Secondly, the resistant rubber compound handles the heat of warm weather without softening or wearing out quickly. This compound resists damage from high temperatures, providing durability and ensuring the Nankang EX500 maintains its structure during prolonged drives. Equally important, the smart sipe placement contributes to better performance by creating more biting edges. They allow the vehicle to accelerate quicker and break on shorter distances too. Also, the strong sidewalls keep tire integrity at speeds of up to 149 mph, depending on the size. And, the Nankang EX500 goes very well with the Mitsubishi Lancer, Mercedes Benz A Class, and Toyota Camry. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in both 15'' and 16'' rim diameter options.
