Nankang SV-1 Nordic Test success! 245/45-17 Winter tires

Nankang SV-1 is a top class friction tire for the Finnish winter. In the design of the SV-1 tire, special attention has been paid to first-class grip on ice, snow and slush, but the tire also works excellently on wet and cold asphalt in both autumn and spring.

Nankang SV-1 has achieved excellent test success in Finland. In a very extensive test, including up to 88 friction tires, the SV-1 was superbly tenth in Test World 2013, conducted by the Transport Safety Agency Trafi in Finland, one of the world's leading winter tire testing facilities. All tires ranked ahead of Nankang were clearly more expensive, and Nankang left behind a really large number of famous and expensive winter tires. Nankang's price-quality ratio is the best of the tested tires.

The Nankang SV-1 in the winter tire test of the Technical World, it came fifth out of the nine top-class Nordic friction tires tested. Almost sensationally left behind were e.g. Goodyear and Bridgestone! The SV-1 was the quietest tire in the test, the best in snow slush and right at the top of the friction tires in braking grip on ice. Only significantly more expensive tires were ranked ahead, with which Nankang competed equally.

"Nankang thoroughly surprised the test group. No high expectations were set for an unknown cheap tire, but the tire performed completely at the level of the others... Even though the final ranking was in the middle level, Nankang's final result was still good. Even the big tire manufacturers were left behind, which is always a great performance."
