Nankang Toursport NS P225/55 R17 101V XL JB227

Providing all-season traction and handling to go with a more quiet and comfortable ride is what Nankang has built the TourSport NS to do. Designed for drivers of coupes, sedans and minivans. The all-season tread compound sports an asymmetrical tread pattern and continuous center rib for enhanced dry surface handling and added cornering maneuverability. Four wider circumferential grooves and angled sipes around the tread increase traction and handling on wet pavement, as well as reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The angled sipes also provide added grip on snow or slush covered roads. Road noise is reduced through the variable pitch tread sequence that Nankang uses on this model. The computer optimized tread pattern creates a more quiet riding tire that makes driving more enjoyable. A wider tread contact patch has been used to not only enhance handling and braking, but to also prevent uneven and irregular tire wear. Reviews from other drivers have mentioned getting a long tread life out of this model. Pros: Very good traction and grip on dry and wet surfaces Above average braking capabilities Ride is comfortable and road noise is minimal Long lasting treadwear gives good value for the money Cons: Winter handling could be a little better No mileage guarantee
