Product description & features

The Nankang Sportnex NS-20 is built with a symmetrical tread design that features four wide tread blocks, ensuring stable handling and reliable braking performance in wet conditions.

Its advanced silica compound improves durability and wear resistance, offering a balanced and consistent performance throughout the tyre’s lifespan.

The Sportnex NS-20 is available in 13-inch to 20-inch rim sized tyres.

Wet Weather Performance

The four straight wide grooves in the tread efficiently channel water away from the tyre’s contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

This allows for better traction on wet roads, ensuring stability and control even in heavy rain or standing water.

Enhanced Longevity

A specially formulated silica tread compound, combined with sub-straight shoulder grooves, helps distribute pressure evenly across the surface of the tyre.

This reduces irregular wear patterns, extending the lifespan of the tyre while maintaining a high level of performance throughout its use.

Sportnex NS-20 Variants

The Nankang Sportnex NS-20 is currently manufactured in 1 variant of tyre:

Please note: before you select your tyres, ensure that the tyre size that you intend to order are the correct variant and matches your vehicle type.

The Nankang Sportnex NS-20 - 215/40 R18 W is a summer tyre.

When i go around a fast bend onto motorway you can tell not as good. The cars handling is like your tyre pressure is out - but it isnt. But for trundling around london they do just fine.

They have performed well in all conditions (not tested in snow). Wet braking is fine. Noise level varies a lot with the road surface. On nice smooth tarmac they are very quiet.

Performing very well. Good grip even in the wet (though I haven't pushed them hard) reasonably quiet and not showing much sign of wear. I will definitely buy the same again.
