The Nankang FS-1 is a great SUV tire. This model is designed for summer use and should not be used in colder weather. Thanks to its innovative aspects, it ensures excellent performance and control at speeds of up to 149 mph.
Firstly, the open shoulders add stability when taking corners, giving the driver more confidence and control. They also deliver better safety as they don't allow the hot air to damage the rubber. They do this by quickly evacuating this hot air out effectively. Equally important, the smart sipe placement grips the road by biting into the surface, especially when it’s wet. Their careful positioning ensures maximum traction without making the Nankang FS-1 weaker. Adding to this, the resistant rubber compound stands up to wear and tear caused by frequent driving, helping the tire stay functional over time. It also reduces the rolling resistance, offering higher fuel efficiency in the long run.
Secondly, the deep grooves run along the Nankang FS-1’s surface to manage water and debris. Directing water away from the contact patch prevents deep grooves from sliding. Furthermore, the special tread pattern provides excellent grip while reducing noise. The pattern balances traction for dry and wet roads. And, the strong sidewalls offer great control at higher speeds by fighting off lateral forces. According to reviews, the Nankang FS-1 goes very well with the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Land Cruiser. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in a 20'' rim diameter option.
