Description Ikon Nordman 5
The Ikon Nordman 5 winter tire is designed for use in regions with the coldest climate. It is most effective on snowy and icy surfaces, demonstrating stable traction, comfortable handling, acoustic comfort, and a long service life.
In terms of design, this model is a Hakkapeliitta 5, one of the most popular winter tires from the Finnish manufacturer in our country. The external similarity is ensured by the easily recognizable design of the tread pattern with an arrow-shaped rib in the middle. It reduces rolling resistance, providing precision handling and directional stability at high speeds. The "branches" departing from it in the form of composite A-shaped blocks allow for intense acceleration and braking on snow. The "three-dimensional" lamellas with saw-toothed edges cut into all tread elements preserve this ability on icy and compacted snow. It is worth noting the use of a "bear's claw", a special protrusion in the area of stud installation, which limits the mobility of the steel element during longitudinal accelerations, thereby increasing traction and braking properties on ice. Another feature of the tire is the rubber compound used in its manufacture. In addition to "silica", it contains special oils that increase the strength of the tread on tear and stretch, as a result of which it not only retains elasticity at low temperatures but also becomes more resistant to abrasive wear, punctures, and tears.
Main features of Ikon Nordman 5
- "bear's claw" technology improves traction on ice by limiting stud mobility;
- a rubber compound with special oils in its composition increases the elasticity of the tread, its resistance to abrasive wear, punctures, and tears;
- a directional tread pattern with a V-shaped arrangement of block edges provides excellent traction and stability on any winter surface
