Nankang Ice Activa 2 235/50 R19 103T

Directional and multi-pitch tread pattern design(contributing increased circumferential lateral groove quantity to 152 pcs) can discharge water/snow efficiently during driving for getting complete footprint, and it caused upgraded drainage performance on wet roads and enhanced snow traction. According to vehicle test results, snow braking of ICE-2... moreis 3% better than its predecessor(ICE-1). Staggered lateral groove design on tread center can be helpful to straight driving on snowy roads and also has sound-wave disturbing effect for reducing noise. Ice/snow is able to be grasped and embedded with wave surface design for groove bottom and wall for enhancing traction and upgrade ice/snow performance.(refer to the photos below) Micro vein design on blocks can enhance friction in early tire life and also beautify tread surface of winter tires. Resembling off-road profile design and irregular tread shoulder block design can maximize footprint on icy/snowy roads and further enhance snow traction. Two different sipe design on tire center and shoulder. Sipe with more waves allocated densely on tire center can enhance ice and snow performance. Sipe design with less waves allocated on tire shoulder can retain block stiffness and upgrade cornering performance. ICE-2 with brand new tread compound has almost 20% better than its predecessor ICE-1 from the dry and wet braking test results. RRC rating for EU label: D-C. Wet grip rating for EU label: D(only for the smallest size)-C.
