Product description & features

The Nankang SV-3 is a passenger-car winter tyre designed to clear rain and slush from cold, wet roads. The SV-3 uses a directional, V-shaped tread that channels rain and slush away from the centre of the tyre. It uses slits in the tread block to, increase the number of biting edges for braking and turning on icy surfaces. The silica tread compound stays flexible and icy and maintains grip.

As a directional tread, proper channeling relies on installing the tyre in the sidewall marked direction. Nankang also makes an XL version of the SV-3 which has reinforced tread for increased load capacity. Summer tyres reduce grip in cold conditions, and the SV-3 is designed for winter use to counteract this. We have the Nankang SV-3 in stock with XL versions available as well. We stock the Nankang Sv 3 at Tyres.co.uk.

Tyre review for Nankang SV-3 205/50R17 93V XL
Average tyres, nothing special. The noise from the tyres could be worse but I've had better grip on sliding/slippery roads even with my old tyres. Tyres are lasting decent but I'm still not sure if I would purchase them again.

Tyre review for Nankang SV-3 205/50R17 93V XL
These Nankang SV-3 tyres have been great so far. Grip is excellent, especially when it is wet. I have observed a marked improvement in handling. Would recommend to anyone needing performance and dependability on a low budget.
