The Ice Activia ESSN-1 by Nankang is a touring winter tire designed specifically for passenger cars facing harsh winter conditions. Combining safety, comfort, and performance, this tire features innovative technologies that deliver excellent grip on snow and ice while ensuring stable and confident driving.

• Asymmetric ESSN-1 tread design for enhanced cornering maneuverability
• 3D Zigzag Sipes technology that improves block stiffness for superior ice traction
• Grid-shaped tread pattern increasing the contact patch and improving handling from the first mile

Asymmetric ESSN-1 tread design: The outer pattern of the tire is engineered to strengthen cornering performance. This unique design, combined with supplementary sipes on the outer tread, enhances grip and stability during turns, even on slippery surfaces. Meanwhile, the inner tread section focuses on providing straight-line stability and driving comfort, delivering a secure and smooth ride in challenging winter conditions.

3D Zigzag Sipes technology: This advanced siping system creates three-dimensional zigzag-shaped slits that increase block stiffness and prevent excessive deformation. This results in improved maneuverability and traction on icy roads, offering greater control and safety when driving on snow and ice-covered surfaces.

Grid-shaped tread pattern: The tread features a grid-like design that maximizes the tire’s contact area with the road. This enhances grip and responsiveness right from the start, while the longitudinal sipes on the shoulder zones help resist centrifugal forces during cornering. Additionally, this pattern improves water and snow evacuation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and maintaining stability throughout winter driving.
