The Surpass AS01 is equipped with a treadwear warranty of 55,000 miles, above the average for a high-performance tire. And the tire’s sidewalls are infused with puncture-resistant Aramid fibers, the same material used in bulletproof vests.
Nokian Tyres’ message to drivers: It’s time to Expand Your Expectations™ of what a high-performance tire can deliver. The Surpass AS01 offers a complete driving experience – the same elite performance drivers expect out of a UHP tire, combined with durability, toughness and efficiency.
“Many ultra-high-performance tires focus on one thing: helping cars handle high speeds,” said Nokian Tyres North America Director of Products Steve Bourassa. “The Nokian Tyres Surpass AS01 is built for drivers who love testing their vehicles to the limit, but also need a tire that can handle their daily needs.”
The Surpass AS01 balances performance and longevity thanks to premium features embedded throughout the tire. A high-silica rubber compound enables the tire to hug hairpin turns without compromising durability. A reimagined tread pattern channels water from the road for responsive braking. And a low-rolling-resistance structure helps the tire serve as a seamless fit for EV drivers and anyone who wants to increase mileage per fill-up or charge.
As with the latest generations of its tires, Nokian Tyres offers the Surpass AS01 with a Pothole Protection warranty. The company will replace tires damaged beyond repair by a pothole or road hazard.* The Surpass AS01 stands up to potholes thanks to Aramid fibers, the same material used in the defense and aerospace industries. Aramid helps sidewalls stay intact on rough surfaces without compromising performance or efficiency.
The Nokian Tyres Surpass AS01 started shipping in early January to tire shops across North America. Nokian Tyres offers the Surpass AS01 in 65 sizes, ranging from 16 to 21 inches.
