Product description & features

  • Maximum grip in dry and wet
  • Reduced rolling resistance
  • Lower risk of aquaplaning

Designed to meet the needs of modern performance cars, the AS-2+ blends dynamic handling with practical everyday comfort.
It performs exceptionally well in warm weather while also improving fuel economy through its advanced construction.
The Sportnex AS-2 is available in 16-inch to 22-inch rim sized tyres.
 

Wide Sectional Grooves

The tread features expanded central grooves that channel water away from the contact patch rapidly.
This helps preserve grip on wet roads and reduces the risk of aquaplaning at speed.
 

3D Simulation Tread Optimisation

Using advanced simulation software, the tyre's design was refined to minimise rolling resistance and maximise contact with the road.
The result is a more fuel-efficient and responsive driving experience.

They have performed well in the wet ( although we have not had much wet conditions this summer). Felt stable and grippy in all condition so far, tyre noise is pretty good too.

Really happy with these tyres. The noise is reduced and the ride is comfortable. Everything you need from a T5 thats ageing like milk. Will look to buy the same again when the time comes
