FAQs

What makes the Nankang AW-8 suitable for all seasons?

The AW-8 features a tread compound and design optimized for a wide temperature range, with increased block stiffness and numerous sipes for better grip on snow and slush, while also effectively displacing water for wet-weather performance.

How does the tire handle cornering?

The tire is equipped with reinforced sidewalls, which provide increased rigidity. This helps to maintain tire shape during cornering, leading to more controlled and stable handling.

Are these tires noisy?

Nankang aims to produce silent tires. While individual experiences can vary based on road conditions and vehicle, the AW-8 is designed to offer a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

What is the expected lifespan of these tires?

Nankang tires are known for their resistance and durability. The lifespan will depend on driving habits, maintenance, and road conditions, but they are engineered for longevity.

Can I use these tires in extreme winter conditions?

The AW-8 offers strong performance in winter conditions, including snow and slush, due to its design features. However, for regions with extreme winter severity, dedicated winter tires might offer superior performance.

How do I check for the correct tire size?

The correct tire size for your vehicle can be found in your owner's manual or on a sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb. It will be listed in a format like '195/70 R15C'.

What is the meaning of 'C' in tire sizes like 195/70 R15C?

The 'C' designation indicates that the tire is specifically built for commercial vehicles, featuring a stronger construction to handle heavier loads typical of vans and light trucks.

Troubleshooting

Uneven tire wear

Check wheel alignment and tire balancing. Ensure proper tire inflation and rotate tires regularly.

Reduced traction in snow/wet conditions

Verify tire pressure is within the recommended range. Ensure tire tread depth is adequate. Consider professional inspection if issues persist.

Excessive road noise

Tires are designed for a quiet ride, but noise can increase with wear. Ensure tires are properly balanced and that no foreign objects are lodged in the tread.

Vibrations while driving

Tires may be out of balance or alignment. Schedule a professional inspection for balancing and alignment check.
