The Nankang FT-4 is a passenger and SUV tire optimized for country roads. Thanks to its innovative design and robust build, this all season tire ensures a comfortable and stress free ride all year round.
Firstly, the open shoulders keep the Nankang FT-4 firmly connected to the road, even in wet or slippery conditions. They also enhance grip on loose surfaces like gravel or mud, ensuring stability during turns and on uneven roads. Going on, the special tread pattern is carefully designed to provide a balance of grip, handling, and fuel efficiency. It also reduces noise, making the ride quieter and more comfortable. Equally important, the deep grooves channel water away from the Nankang FT-4, reducing the risk of hydroplaning during rainy conditions. And, as the model wears down, the depth of these grooves allows them to remain effective for longer, ensuring consistent traction and safety throughout the tire's life.
Secondly, the smart sipe placement improves grip on wet or icy surfaces by helping the model bite into the road. Sipes also play a role in braking, reducing the stopping distance and improving safety. Adding to this, the strong sidewalls keep great integrity even at the maximum speed of 130 mph, depending on the size. Moreover, the resistant rubber compound ensures the Nankang FT-4 can handle the constant friction of driving without wearing out too quickly. It stays flexible in a wide range of temperatures, providing grip in both hot and cold conditions. Also, this model goes very well with the BMW X3, Honda CR-V, and Mazda CX-5. Finally, the available sizes on the US market start with 15'' and go up to 18'' rim diameter options.
