Description

The Nankang AS-2+ tire represents the pinnacle of modern tire engineering, offering unmatched performance and safety on all road types. Designed for demanding drivers, this tire combines exceptional technological innovation and reliability, ensuring an optimal driving experience under all conditions.

  • Optimized void ratio at 38% and 34% for better water evacuation and exceptional wet grip.
  • Advanced circumferential groove design for increased drainage capacity and a significant reduction in rolling noise.
  • Innovative profile design and sidewall reinforcement for increased tire stiffness, improving handling and durability.

The optimized void ratio technology of the Nankang AS-2+ precisely adjusts the void percentage between the inside and the outside of the tire to 38% and 34%, respectively. This technical feature significantly improves drainage efficiency and handling on wet roads, offering drivers increased safety even in the most precarious conditions.

Thanks to a broadened circumferential groove width, the Nankang AS-2+ increases the section area of inside/outside grooves by 21.3% and 43.8% respectively compared to a traditional design. This innovation allows for better water retention, ensuring excellent drainage and considerably reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The carefully designed grooves also decrease rolling noise, contributing to a quieter and more enjoyable drive.

The innovative profile design and sidewall reinforcement of the AS-2+ improve the overall stiffness of the tire. This feature ensures a more direct transmission of forces between the vehicle and the road, resulting in precise and responsive handling. Moreover, the reinforcement of the sidewalls contributes to better protection against damage, extending the tire's lifespan and thus offering excellent value to consumers.

Equipped with these cutting-edge technologies, the Nankang AS-2+ tire is the ideal choice for drivers seeking performance, safety, and comfort without compromise. Experience transformed driving with the Nankang AS-2+.

Ordered a set of wheels from them. Top notch customer service. Usually got back to me within a few hours of sending them an email. Even refunded me the money for items I ended up not needing. Would definitely recommend

I went with the Moto Metal - MO978 RAZOR's. Was online shopping every tire/rim website imaginable base on PMC's reviews i madfe my pusrchase with them. I had a few more questions before i made my purchase and Valerie responded very quickly so therefore they monitor there incoming emails. These are Summer rims only so i wasnt worried on how fast they got delivered as it was still winter when i ordered them. and they got optional purchase plan on them which was a seller for me. I woulda bought tires but i only used my BFG Trail Terrains for only a year. That being said i will purchase from them again this time coming back for tires.

Excellent tire knowledge, made a recommendation to me to go with Michelin PS 4s rather than the older PS 2's that I was replacing. Tires had current date code, so very much appreciated that. Wonderful company....make sure to make a stop here (phone call) for your next tire purchase.

First time purchasing rims. Called the company and the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helped guide me through my purchase, ensuring the fitment was correct for my vehicle, and that everything I needed for my install was included. Thank you.

I was able to source the staggered sizes I needed for spring. Falken FK510 275/35R19 and 305/30R19 were a bit difficult to get locally. Fronts came from Delta and rears from Montreal within 5 days. These will wrap my 19in 57DRs nicely!
