Nankang NEX-1

The Nankang NEX-1 is a summer performance tyre designed for drivers who want a more responsive feel from their car in warm, wet and dry UK conditions. It’s well suited to sporty hatchbacks, saloons and coupes, providing the steering precision and stability you need for confident everyday driving. As with any summer tyre, it’s not intended for snow or near-freezing temperatures.

An asymmetric tread pattern helps balance grip and control. Broad shoulder blocks support the tyre through corners, improving stability when changing lanes or taking faster bends. Wide circumferential grooves and carefully shaped lateral channels work together to move water away from the contact patch, helping reduce the risk of aquaplaning and keeping braking and cornering more predictable in the rain.

The casing is tuned to maintain an even footprint under load, which supports consistent handling and helps the tyre wear more evenly over time. A modern tread compound aims to deliver dependable grip without making the ride overly harsh, while the tread layout is designed to keep road noise at a sensible level on longer motorway runs. NEX-1 tyres are available in a broad range of sizes, including selected XL (extra load) fitments.

You can buy the Nankang NEX-1 online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, with the option to choose fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or have the tyres delivered.
