The Nokian Surpass AS01 is an ultra-high-performance all-season tire engineered to deliver exceptional grip, handling, and durability for performance-oriented passenger vehicles, electric vehicles, and hybrids. This tire delivers a complete driving experience beyond traditional UHP tires, with performance, durability, pothole protection, and energy efficiency.
Advanced Silica Sense Tread Compound:
The Surpass AS01 features Nokian Tyres' highest-ever proportion of silica in its tread compound, providing tenacious grip and adrenaline-inspiring handling. The high-silica rubber formulation bolsters longevity and reduces rolling resistance, lowering emissions and maximizing efficiency for both gasoline and electric vehicles.
Key Performance Features:
- Responsive wet braking and handling with stability in challenging weather thanks to wide circumferential grooves, solid center rib, and tailored shoulder construction
- Strong outer shoulder teams up with dedicated outer-middle rib for high-performance cornering, while the solid center rib enhanced with 3D siping offers responsive handling and superior grip
- UTQG rating of 560AA demonstrates excellent treadwear and traction performance
- W-speed rated for speeds up to 168 mph
- Asymmetrical tread pattern optimized for balanced wet and dry performance
Aramid Strong Sidewall Technology:
Extremely durable Aramid fibers, the same material used in protective vests, stiffen and reinforce the sidewall to make it exceptionally resistant to wear and cuts. The Surpass AS01 is Nokian's first ultra-high-performance tire included in its Pothole Protection program, offering free replacement for a year for tires damaged beyond repair by potholes or road hazards.
Electric Vehicle Ready:
The low-rolling-resistance design makes these tires efficient and well-equipped for electric vehicles, earning the brand's "Electric Fit" symbol on the sidewall. The tire compensates for the added weight of EV battery packs while ensuring better grip and stopping power.
Warranty and Durability:
Backed by a 55,000 mile (90,000 kilometer) treadwear warranty and featuring a Driving Safety Indicator that allows owners to see remaining tread percentage without needing the traditional penny test. This size features 10/32" tread depth for long-lasting performance.
Manufactured in Finland by Nokian Tyres, a brand synonymous with tire innovation and safety, the Surpass AS01 represents the perfect balance of high-performance capability and everyday practicality for drivers who demand both spirited handling and year-round confidence.
