The Nankang Rollnex NEX-1 profile features advanced technology that optimises the arrangement by adjusting the pitch according to the outer diameter. This design aims to enhance the overall tyre performance through a balanced distribution of the tread elements.
- The optimisation of rib proportions allows for wider shoulders, which reduces contact pressure and improves wet performance by approximately 3%.
- The semi-transverse design of the lateral grooves and the offset of the sipes minimise interactions between patterns, thus reducing generated noise.
- A specific shoulder design helps block the airflow effect, limiting road noise.
- The increased drainage space in the grooves ensures enhanced safety in wet conditions.
- The use of next-generation Japanese synthetic rubber, with a high molecular mass, improves durability, facilitates silica dispersion to reduce rolling resistance, and optimises the balance between braking efficiency and fuel economy.
