The original appearance of the all-season tire for SUVs and crossovers Nankang N168 amazingly combines with very good operational properties. They are mainly manifested on highways, for the use of which it was created. For many owners of modern crossovers, this feature is an exceptional advantage, since a large part of their operation takes place on asphalt.
Original S-shaped tread pattern
Externally, this model looks very unusual due to the original S-shaped design of the tread. It contains three longitudinal ribs, composed of very massive blocks of a quadrangular shape. Each of these individual tread elements also has a composite structure, being divided into several parts by drainage grooves.
Such a design gives the Nankang N168 tire a mass of important advantages. First of all, this is good traction on dry pavement, reliable and predictable handling, as well as resistance to uneven wear. All these operational properties are ensured due to the significant size of the contact patch and its ability to remain unchanged even under significant influence of multidirectional acceleration forces.
Good resistance to aquaplaning
This model is characterized by good traction not only on dry but also on wet roads. This feature is achieved due to the presence of a large number of drainage grooves on the tread. At the same time, most of the transverse grooves have a curved shape and variable width, which multiply increases their throughput, and together with it, resistance to aquaplaning.
Main features of the Nankang N168 tire
- S-shaped design of the tread pattern combines an impressive appearance with high performance, both on dry and wet roads;
- massive tread blocks increase the size of the contact patch, giving it a square shape, which positively affects the reliability and stability of the traction properties;
- high level of acoustic comfort due to the multistage scheme of arranging the tread blocks;
- excellent reliability on wet roads due to the large number of drainage grooves, the throughput of a significant part of which has been multiplied due to the curved shape and variable width.
