The all-season Nokian Weatherproof SUV tire is designed for crossovers and SUVs. It is recommended by the manufacturer for use in areas with so-called "European" winters. It stands out for its increased efficiency on snowy roads, demonstrating stability of traction properties and braking intensity.
The tread pattern features a central part design with inclined narrow blocks. This significantly improves traction properties and directional stability on snow. There are special "stiffness" zones between the central part and the shoulder areas. The unique shape of the longitudinal water drainage grooves improves the accuracy of handling on dry pavement. At the same time, their polished surface allows to significantly reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
Key features:
- narrow inclined blocks in the central part improve traction on snow;
- "stiffness" zones between the central part and the shoulder areas increase handling accuracy at high speeds;
- polished surface and increased size of water drainage grooves reduce the risk of aquaplaning and slushplaning.
