The Nankang SW-5 is a studdable winter tire designed for various passenger cars. With its innovative elements, this model can tackle harsh conditions without slippage, offering a comfortable and peaceful driving experience.
Firstly, the smart sipe placement improves grip on slippery roads. These sipes create tiny edges that bite into the ground, helping the Nankang SW-5 hold onto ice or packed snow. Moreover, the open shoulders improve handling when turning or driving on uneven, snowy surfaces. They also let out the snow that might get trapped on the surface of the model and thus get it clogged. Adding to this, the winter rubber compound remains flexible even in freezing weather, ensuring the tire can conform to the road. It also helps the Nankang SW-5 last longer by resisting cracks caused by extreme cold.
Secondly, the special tread design distributes the weight of the vehicle evenly across the surface, preventing uneven wear. The unique layout of grooves and blocks also ensures the tire remains quiet and comfortable, even when driving in challenging conditions. Equally important, the strong sidewalls maintain great integrity even at the maximum speed of 130 mph, depending on the size. They also absorb lateral shocks from bumps and uneven surfaces, ensuring a smoother ride for passengers. Also, the deep grooves channel snow, water, and slush away from the tire, keeping it in contact with the road. This helps prevent sliding or losing control in wet and snowy conditions. And, the Nankang SW-5 goes very well with the Audi A3, BMW 3 Series, and Ford Fusion. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in both 14'' and 15'' rim diameter options.
