Nokian Nordman North 9 215/60R16, Winter, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Upgraded driving durability; Enhanced controllability; Winter-weather performance; Nordman North 9 TiresThe Nordman North 9 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The ideal tread design and the winter compound upgrade the tire's performance in harsh winter conditions. The winter compound and the ideal tread design work together to boost the cold temperature performance. The studded tread area, with the special siping pattern and the optimal tread block placement, improves the tire's grip when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. This is achieved by providing additional biting edges. The compound keeps the tire pliable and maintains its rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures. The optimized grooves increase the water- and slush-dispersing ability and prevent hydroplaning. This tread design's close road contact manages to boost controllability. This increases steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model helps to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The shoulder blocks of the V-shaped pattern provide a higher number of biting edges to grip the road surface, which optimizes the cornering capability. The Nordman North 9 ensures a safe high speed drive. The reinforced internal structure enables the tire to keep its ideal shape under high speed pressure. Since the tire does not deform during its high speed performance, it offers a secure driving experience. This makes the tire perfect for high speed applications. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
