Nankang SV-1 is a top-class friction tire for the Finnish winter. The SV-1 tire has been designed with special emphasis on first-class grip on ice, snow and slush, but the tire also performs excellently on wet and cold asphalt in both autumn and spring.

Nankang SV-1 has achieved excellent test success in Finland. In a very extensive test conducted by the Finnish Transport Safety Agency Trafi at Test World in 2013, which included up to 88 friction tires, the SV-1 came in a fantastic tenth place. All the tires that ranked ahead of the Nankang were clearly more expensive, and Nankang left behind a very large number of well-known and expensive winter tires. Nankang's price-quality ratio is the best of the tires tested.

In the Tekniikan Maailma winter tire test, the Nankang SV-1 was a fantastic fifth out of nine tested top-class Nordic friction tires. Goodyear and Bridgestone were left behind almost sensationally! The SV-1 was the quietest tire in the test, the best in slush and at the top of the friction tires in braking grip on ice. Only significantly more expensive tires were ahead, with which Nankang competed evenly.

"Nankang surprised the test group thoroughly. No high expectations were set for an unknown cheap tire, but the tire performed completely on the same level as the others... Although the final ranking was average, Nankang's final result was still good. It even left behind major tire manufacturers, which is always a great achievement." Tekniikan Maailma
