The AS-1 from Nankang is a passenger performance tire designed to deliver a combination of all-season traction, confident handling, and a quiet, comfortable ride. The asymmetrical tread design is optimized for outstanding year-round touring performance, while the variable pitch tread reduces noise on the road for a smooth ride. Featuring a rigid shoulder pattern, the AS-1 was built for enhanced steering and cornering capabilities. Angled tread blocks and circumferential grooves work to channel water away from the contact area, promoting traction and handling on wet roads.
