Product description & features

The Nankang AS-3 is a ultra high performance summer tyre designed for modern cars that need sharper handling and dependable grip on dry and wet UK roads. It’s best suited to spirited everyday driving in warmer conditions, delivering a more responsive feel than a typical touring tyre. As with all summer tyres, it isn’t intended for snow or icy temperatures.

An asymmetric tread pattern helps balance cornering stability with wet-weather control. A stiffer outer shoulder supports the tyre in fast bends, while a more continuous centre section helps it track straight and respond cleanly to steering inputs. Wide circumferential grooves and angled channels are designed to move surface water away from the contact patch, supporting braking and traction on rain-soaked roads.

For real-world comfort, the AS-3 uses an optimised block layout intended to reduce tread noise at cruising speeds. Even pressure distribution across the tread helps these tyres wear more uniformly, which can support longer service life when correctly inflated and aligned. The construction is also tuned to maintain shape under load, improving stability on motorways and A-roads.

Nankang AS-3 tyres are available to buy online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, with fitments covering many popular rim diameters and selected XL load options. Choose delivery to your address or book fitting at a nearby garage of your choice.
