Despite the fact that the Nokian WR D4 winter tire is offered in our country, it was developed for operation in entirely different regions. The main market for this model is Central Europe, where winter climatic conditions differ with a rather pronounced specificity, which is reflected in the technical characteristics of this tire.
Optimized Siping System
One of the innovations of this model, distinguishing it from the previous generation tire, is the NokianBlock Optimized Siped tread technology. The Finnish tire manufacturers managed to significantly increase the number of sipes, which are located at an even smaller distance from each other than before. This led to a significant improvement in traction on icy surfaces.
Improved Handling Precision
The longitudinal rib located in the center of the tread has a continuous structure due to the slots that only reach the middle of this element. This feature significantly improves stability at high speed, as well as the speed and accuracy of the tire's response to the driver's actions.
Enhanced Snow Traction
The tread blocks are arranged in groups of three separate elements each. During movement, they, as well as the sipes cut into them, form very long traction edges that stretch across the entire contact patch. This noticeably improves the traction characteristics on snow.
Key Features of Nokian WR D4
- A continuous longitudinal rib in the center with numerous slots improves stability and handling responsiveness, as well as longitudinal traction characteristics;
- Excellent performance when accelerating on snow and ice due to the arrangement of blocks and sipes, which form very long transverse traction edges.
