About the Nokian Surpass AS01

Precision grip engineered for every season.

Best forDrivers of passenger cars, performance sedans, coupes, and EVs who want responsive, high-speed-capable all-season performance with durable sidewall protection.

The Nokian Surpass AS01 is an ultra-high-performance all-season tire built for passenger cars, performance sedans, coupes, and sports cars — including hybrid and electric vehicles. It targets drivers who want sharp, responsive handling and confident grip across dry, wet, and light winter conditions, all backed by a 55,000-mile tread life warranty.

An asymmetrical tread pattern works alongside four wide circumferential grooves and lateral channels to evacuate water efficiently and resist hydroplaning. The Silica Sense compound sharpens wet and dry traction while helping extend tread life. Aramid-reinforced sidewalls add puncture resistance against potholes and road hazards, and the construction is engineered to handle the extra load demands of battery-powered vehicles. Note: this tire is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified.

Questions about this tire

What does 245/50R18 100Y mean?

245 is the tread width in millimeters, 50 means the sidewall is 50% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 100 is the load index (1,764 lbs per tire), and Y is the speed rating (up to 186 mph).

How does the Surpass AS01 handle wet roads and rain?

The tire uses four wide circumferential grooves combined with lateral channels to move water out from under the contact patch quickly, reducing hydroplaning risk and maintaining grip on wet pavement. The Silica Sense compound further contributes to confident wet braking and cornering.

Is the Nokian Surpass AS01 suitable for light snow or winter driving?

The Surpass AS01 can manage light snow and cold-weather driving thanks to its siped tread blocks, which provide some additional bite in mild winter conditions. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not rated for severe snow service. When temperatures consistently drop below roughly 45°F or conditions involve moderate to heavy snow and ice, a dedicated winter tire is the safer choice.

Is the Surpass AS01 a good fit for electric or hybrid vehicles?

Yes — the tire is specifically engineered to handle the higher curb weights typical of battery-electric and hybrid vehicles, supporting adequate load capacity and responsive braking. The Aramid sidewall reinforcement also adds durability that can benefit EVs, which tend to generate higher torque loads at launch.

How long should I expect the Surpass AS01 to last?

Nokian backs the Surpass AS01 with a 55,000-mile limited tread life warranty. Real-world longevity depends on factors like driving habits, proper inflation, and regular rotation, but following recommended maintenance intervals gives you the best chance of reaching that mileage figure.

Where are Nokian Surpass AS01 tires manufactured?

Nokian Tyres operates production facilities in Finland, the United States, and Romania, and Surpass AS01 tires are generally produced at one of those locations. The specific plant of origin can vary by size and production run.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
