The Wintersafe WS-1 model from Nankang is distinguished by an external tread pattern that combines zigzag grooves with a design of polygonal blocks. This structure is designed to maximise the contact area and improve grip on snowy roads.
Inside, the tread features a straight groove pattern, which promotes better stability when driving in a straight line. With a groove ratio of 27.5%, drainage performance is also optimised.
Among its distinctive features, the Wintersafe WS-1 profile incorporates an irregular 3D pattern that enhances rigidity and improves handling on icy roads. Furthermore, the grid structure of the pattern increases the contact area, offering better controllability from the start.
The tread compound is enriched with hard natural core powder, which facilitates cutting into ice for improved grip.
