Nokian Tyres is making a splash in the North American UHP tire market with the release of the Surpass AS01 ultra-high-performance all-season tire. Tire Review had the opportunity to test the tire at the legendary Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We tested the tires on four vehicles: Lexus RX500h, Polestar 2, Toyota Supra, and Mercedes C300. We evaluated the tire’s wet grip, dry handling, and overall stability. This Nokian Surpass AS01 review highlights the tire's performance in these conditions.

Nokian Surpass AS01 Review: Performance and Durability

The Surpass AS01 combines Nokian's Silica Sense tread compound for improved traction and longevity with durability features. These features include Pothole Protection and a Driving Safety Indicator. Nokian leadership emphasizes the company's focus on premium performance, versatile fitment for ICE and EV vehicles, and a competitive price point. These factors position the Surpass AS01 as a standout in the all-season UHP category.

Fitment and Range of Sizes 

The Surpass AS01 comes in 65 sizes, ranging from 16-21 inches. These sizes cover many popular vehicles, making it a solid option for both everyday drivers and performance enthusiasts. Tire Review Editor David Sickels takes the tire to the track and provides a comprehensive review of its capabilities on one of the most challenging (and fun) tracks in North America.
