The winter non-studded tire Nokian Nordman RS2 SUV is another novelty from the famous Finnish manufacturer. This model is primarily aimed at owners of crossovers and SUVs who live in northern regions, where the winter climate can be characterized as harsh. In such conditions, it demonstrates its strongest sides. In particular, these include improved traction properties on snow and ice.
Pump Sipes
The tread of this model is equipped with several types of sipes. And not all of them form additional traction edges. In particular, in the shoulder areas, there are pump sipes that have a teardrop shape in the side projection. When in contact with the ice surface, these miniature tread elements dry it in the contact patch area, which in turn leads to a significant improvement in traction.
Sipe Locks
As for the regular sipes that form several thousand traction edges, they are only so at first glance. On both sides, these tread elements end with special locks. With their help, the sipes when in contact with the road surface are fixed in the open position, while the height of the formed traction edges is maximum and little affected by the load of the vehicle's weight. In real operating conditions, this feature manifests itself in the form of improved handling and traction on ice and rolled snow.
Main Features of Nordman RS2 SUV
- excellent traction characteristics on icy surfaces due to the large number and variety of sipe types;
- a continuous longitudinal rib improves stability and stability of traction properties at high speeds;
- a reinforced belt construction provides increased strength and load-carrying capacity of the tire.
