The secret of Nokian's Aramid Shield technology
The Nokian company has noted that the market demand for tire durability is not only relevant, but also increasing. This is especially important for off-road tires.
We have already written about how the company demonstrates the similar Aramid Sidewalls technology in action. A great example was the speed record achieved while driving on two wheels at a speed of 186 km/h. Originally and quite vividly. The technology involves adding aramid fibers to the tire's sidewalls, which gives the sidewalls special strength.
The new Nokian Tyres Outpost AT has a notable difference. The new Aramid Shield technology features aramid fibers not only in the sidewalls, but also in the under-tread layer, giving the tires exceptional resistance to potholes on the road and sharp stones.
