Nankang SW-8 225/45-18 winter tire

Nankang SW-8 - 70% more pins, a real icebreaker!

Nankang has designed its new SW-8 tire to overcome even the most difficult Finnish winter conditions. Clearly the largest number of studs in its price category and the new unique friction stud rubber compound tested for a long time in Ivalo guarantee unique grip in all winter conditions.

Best grip on ice with a large number of studs
The Nankang SW-8 achieves its excellent ice grip by using up to 70% more studs than a normal studded tire. The law allows the use of 50 studs per meter on the tire's rolling rim, but with the help of top Finnish experts, Nankang has been able to optimize the studs so that it offers top grip without damaging the asphalt any more than a normal tire. Thus, Nankang has received special permission to use 70% more studs to bring you even better grip.

Finnish top pins and machines
In order to guarantee the best grip, Nankang SW-8 tire uses top-class Tikkanasta made in Finland. Studding is done in order to achieve an optimal end result right after production at the factory with the best Finnish A-technology studding robots in the field.

Silent grip
Tire sounds have been minimized in Nankang to be really quiet. In tests conducted at Test World in Ivalo, the tire has proven to be one of the quietest studded tires on the market. The Nankang SW-8 combines excellent quiet driving comfort, top-class ice grip brought by a large number of studs, and excellent snow grip brought by a new friction compound.
