Nankang Sportnex AS-3 EV – High-Performance Tire Tailored for Electric Vehicles

The Nankang Sportnex AS-3 EV is a next-generation ultra-high-performance (UHP) tire designed specifically for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid cars. With cutting-edge engineering that balances grip, efficiency, quietness, and longevity, the AS-3 EV addresses the unique demands of modern electrified mobility. This tire is a top choice for drivers who want premium control, lower rolling resistance, and optimized ride comfort—all while preserving the extended range and quiet ride EVs are known for.

Whether you’re commuting daily in a high-torque EV or heading out for weekend travel in a high-performance hybrid, the AS-3 EV delivers confidence, efficiency, and a superior driving experience in all weather conditions.

EV-Optimized Design for Maximum Range and Performance

Electric vehicles require tires that can handle immediate torque, increased vehicle weight, and regenerative braking—all while maintaining optimal efficiency. The Nankang Sportnex AS-3 EV is built from the ground up for electric mobility, featuring a low rolling resistance tread compound that helps maximize driving range without sacrificing grip.

The reinforced internal structure ensures excellent stability under high load conditions, supporting the heavier chassis of most EVs. This also contributes to better control during cornering, braking, and high-speed maneuvers.

Asymmetric Tread Pattern for All-Season Versatility

The AS-3 EV features a sophisticated asymmetric tread design engineered to handle diverse driving conditions. The inner zone enhances wet traction and water evacuation, while the outer shoulder blocks improve dry handling and lateral stability. This design gives the tire outstanding all-season performance, making it suitable for drivers in regions that experience varied weather throughout the year.

Four wide circumferential grooves efficiently disperse water from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and enhancing control in rainy conditions. Multiple sipes throughout the tread enhance grip on wet and lightly snowy surfaces, adding another layer of year-round usability.

Superior Quietness for Electric Driving

One of the key expectations for EV tires is ultra-low noise. The Nankang AS-3 EV delivers a quieter, smoother ride, thanks to its noise-optimized tread block arrangement and variable pitch sequencing. These features are specifically designed to minimize harmonic resonance and road noise, helping preserve the serene cabin experience that EV drivers appreciate.

In urban environments or on long highway drives, the AS-3 EV allows passengers to enjoy conversations or media without the interference of tire hum or vibration.

High Grip and Responsive Handling

The AS-3 EV uses a special silica-enhanced rubber compound that maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range. This helps the tire remain sticky in wet and dry conditions, offering confident acceleration, precise steering, and short braking distances.

Engineered for high-torque electric vehicles, the compound and tread block rigidity work together to resist deformation under load, reducing uneven wear and improving long-term performance. The result is a tire that feels responsive and secure at any speed, from city traffic to open highway cruising.

Eco-Friendly Performance with Long Tread Life

The AS-3 EV is built not only for performance, but also for sustainability. Its low rolling resistance design improves energy efficiency and helps drivers maximize battery life or fuel economy. In addition, the compound and construction promote even treadwear, meaning the tire lasts longer and requires fewer replacements over time—supporting both the environment and your wallet.

Sleek, Modern Aesthetics

Matching its performance is the AS-3 EV’s clean and dynamic sidewall styling, which complements the design language of modern EVs and high-end hybrids. Whether it’s installed on a Tesla Model 3, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, or a plug-in hybrid sedan, the tire enhances the visual appeal while contributing to overall aerodynamic efficiency.
