Nokian WR SUV 4 235/55 R17 103H

The Finnish company Nokian is one of the world leaders in the production of high-quality winter tyres. Specially for cars of the SUV class, the Finns “rolled out to people” the WR SUV 4 model, designed for operation in mild European winters.

Directional Design

The tread of the model is “drawn” taking into account the specifics of the traction and acceleration characteristics of powerful SUVs and sports crossovers. An inextricable medial stiffening rib, from which checkers with a dense network of zigzag lamellae diverge like a herringbone, is put on guard for the stable directional stability of the car with a rectilinear trajectory of movement. With their edges, the tyre clings to the smallest roughness of the roadway. The slots on the shoulder of the tyre, in turn, provide the car with stability in corners.

snow claws

Between the "shoulders" and the tread blocks in the central zone are the so-called "snow claws", which serve as additional coupling links of the tyre with the roadway. Also, the top-class model is doing well with drainage — polished circumferential channels, coupled with transverse drainage grooves Groove Lifts quickly and effectively remove water and melted snow from the contact patch.

Top class

The structure of the sidewalls of the tyre includes aramid fibers to give the structure tensile strength, as well as resistance to impact and cuts. The model receives an additional plus in karma for an informative indicator of the residual tread height (in the centre of the medial rib) in the form of a snowflake symbol and the numbers “4”, “6”, “8” erased as they wear. And finally, it is necessary to note the high level of acoustic and driving comfort — there are not so many equal Nokian WR SUV 4 in this parameter in the class of rubber for SUVs.
