Nokian Snowproof 2 215/55 R17 98H XL

The Nokian Snowproof 2 winter tire is positioned by the manufacturer as a model that provides excellent safety in the most challenging conditions. It is distinguished by improved traction properties on snowy and wet surfaces, balanced handling, resistance to damage, and a long service life.

The tire features the Alpine Sense Grip technology, which is a set of solutions aimed at increasing traction properties and ensuring predictable behavior on any winter roads. First and foremost, this is the second iteration of the Alpine Grip rubber compound. The presence of special polymers in the composition, in addition to a large amount of "silica", allows the compound to remain elastic over a wide temperature range. Its application has significantly reduced the heating of the tire during prolonged high-speed driving, which has had a positive impact on ride comfort and fuel efficiency. The use of 3D lamellae with saw-tooth edges and expanding grooves provides reliable traction on both snowy and wet surfaces, as well as during thawing.

Another feature of the tire is the directional V-shaped tread pattern. Its central part contains a wide arrow-shaped rib, which increases directional stability during straight-line driving. In turns, it interacts with massive blocks on the edges, providing stability and precise handling, as well as stable traction properties during acceleration and braking.
