Nankang Rollnex SP-9
Description
Nankang Rollnex SP-9. Touring-level all-season/light summer tire available at Teräs-Rengas’s Oulu store.
Designed for SUV/CUV vehicles and crossover passenger cars. The tire is rated M+S for winter capability but does not have the 3PMSF symbol, meaning it is not an official winter/snow tire for Nordic countries. The Nankang SP‑9 Cross Sport is a budget-friendly and durable choice for SUV or crossover drivers seeking a reliable all-season tire: it offers solid dry grip, reasonable wet traction, and a quiet driving experience at an affordable price.
The evolution of today’s sophisticated Crossovers and SUV’s led to the creation of the SP-9 CROSS-SPORT. It features a touring tread pattern that reduces tread noise and has a balanced blend of performance, comfort, traction, and tread life. The SP-9’s four circumferential grooves and thin siping throughout the tread are engineered to enhance water evacuation for better wet traction, improve lateral grip, and increase traction for exceptional overall handling.
- Four straight wide grooves enhance tire drainage efficiency and maneuverability on wet road condition.
- The optimized evenly thin sipes reduce road impact and improve the comfort when driving.
- Center rib design offers steady handling.
- The 5 pitches computer simulation technology decreases noise at high speed.
M+S marking
A car tire marked with the M+S (mud and snow) symbol on the tire is suitable for relatively poor driving conditions. An M+S tire is suitable for light snowfall and wet and muddy roads. From December 1, 2024, the M+S marking will not be sufficient for winter tire use in Finland.
