Description Nokian Snowproof 2 SUV
The Nokian Snowproof 2 SUV winter tire is designed with the specific characteristics of the European climate in mind. This model is well-suited for everyday use on wet and snowy roads with a small number of icy patches. It is characterized by balanced handling, efficient braking on any road surface, reduced rolling resistance, and acoustic comfort.
The tire's tread is made from the Alpine Grip rubber compound, second iteration. The compound stands out for its ability to maintain optimal elasticity over a wide temperature range, including extreme temperatures below zero degrees. The composition includes a large amount of silicon dioxide, also known as "silica", as well as a complex of special polymers. These components add to the elasticity reduced rolling resistance and resistance to abrasive wear.
The rubber compound, in turn, is part of the Alpine Sense Grip technology, which also includes numerous "three-dimensional" lamellas. Such incisions provide a contact patch with hundreds of sharp edges, increasing the reliability of handling on the most slippery road surfaces. The next component of this technology is the tread pattern with a division into functional zones. One of them is "responsible" for traction and contains blocks in the central part and shoulder areas, as well as grooves with an aggressive angle of inclination. These elements increase stability on wet and snowy roads. The "handling" zone consists of two rows of blocks, the size, shape, and location of which allows them to partially overlap each other, forming two continuous longitudinal ribs that adjoin the shoulder areas. This solution increases course stability and steering precision at high speeds, primarily on dry roads.
