The Nokian Wetproof summer tire is suitable for most passenger cars. It is characterized by improved traction on wet surfaces, quiet and smooth ride even on "rough" asphalt, and good fuel economy.
The tread pattern is designed in an asymmetrical design, which differs in the distribution of elements by functional areas. The outer side with rigid longitudinal ribs and massive blocks provides stability and precise handling at high speeds and during maneuvering. The inner part of the tread features numerous drainage grooves, small blocks, and lamellas that are responsible for traction on wet surfaces, allowing you to maintain reliable control over the vehicle's trajectory in such conditions. It is worth noting the original design of the grooves. Their Z-shaped form limits the mobility of the longitudinal ribs, which increases the accuracy of handling and reduces uneven wear. Another feature is the drainage grooves in the inner shoulder area. Their special configuration allows increasing the intensity of water drainage, using the Coanda effect for this purpose.
Key features of Nokian Wetproof
- Asymmetrical tread pattern provides the tire with balanced ride quality;
- Z-shaped grooves increase traction and braking force on wet surfaces, improve handling and wear resistance;
- Drainage grooves, using the Coanda effect, ensure intensive water drainage from the contact patch.
