Product description & features
The Nankang Toursport XR-611 is a car tyre, designed to reduce the risk of aquaplaning thanks to four straight grooves in the tyre's tread pattern design.
Nankang have developed the Toursport XR-611 with a special block tread pattern design, increasing the tyre's handling and flexibility in manoeuvres.
The tread pattern features increasingly wider grooves across the tyre, to help effectively remove surface water from the path of the tyre - for quick drainage and lower risk of aquaplaning.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
