Tires
Nankang NS1 – The Nankang NS1 is an Ultra High Performance Summer radial designed to blend appearance, performance and comfort. This combination makes the NS1 appropriate for many of today's sporty cars because it provides unique styling as well as superb performance. The Nankang NS-1’s directional tread employs broad straight grooves for better control in wet and dry road conditions. This innovative three-in-one tread design not only increases responsiveness, but also reduces road noise. The lower sidewall features an innovative design which allows for improved wheel fitment and additional protection from curb damage.
Mounting and Balancing - OE Wheel Distributors is committed to utilizing the latest innovations in the automotive industry and all balancing is performed on a Hunter Road Force Balancer GSP9700. This is the same process used in Indy and NASCAR circuits. The GSP9700 Vibration Control System extends far beyond the traditional functions of a wheel balancer. It not only solves wheel balance problems, but also “road tests” the tire/wheel assembly to eliminate virtually every variable causing vibration in relation to the tire and rim. The exclusive Road Force Measurement® System applies up to 1400 pounds (635 kg) against the tire, while rotating the wheel and tire at high speeds, thus imitating road force conditions. The loaded roller detects non-balance, radial force related vibrations caused by eccentricity and constructional variation of the tire and wheel. Unlike non-contact measurement, the roller samples the entire footprint of the tire including the sidewall’s contribution to ride quality. Road force balancing provides the best balancing available in the industry, and the Hunter GSP9700 is the most technologically advanced balancer in the Industry.
