Winter tyres 2009

Trust the Natives.

Nokian Tyres.
In a class of its own
wherever winter bites.
Nokian Tyres has manufactured winter tyres since 1934.
No wonder they are a concept wherever the word winter
is known.
Mastery of northern conditions can be both seen and felt
in every Nokian winter tyre. You can confidently enjoy the
performance and driving properties of your car throughout
the winter.

Sometimes its sunny, mostly it isnt. Rapidly fluctuating

weather is a reality which has to be taken into consideration
when designing a tyre.
Developed to meet the challenges of extreme conditions. Rapidly changing winter conditions are becoming
more common in Central Europe. This is why every Nokian
winter tyre is designed for the worst possible situation. Even
if the sun is shining, this is good to bear in mind.

There are many names for snow. We know them all.

Snow is not just snow. It is sticky snow, slush, hard-packed
snow and many other varieties. In winter, the road surface
is never the same for long. One tyre is all you need, as long
as it is a Nokian.

We test, so that you dont have to

The ABS, traction control and electronic stability control systems in modern cars excel
and bring a sense of safety to driving. In extreme situations, in braking or in evasive
manoeuvres under slippery conditions you want safety to be more than just a feeling.
A tyre tested in extreme conditions supplements the cars safety systems and does
what you expect. Stops and steers as if nothing had happened. Without raising your
pulse and unnoticed by passengers.

Worlds northernmost proving ground

Extreme situations in winter driving are simulated from November
to May on Nokian Tyres 700 hectare proving ground in Ivalo.
Along with the testing equipment and gauges,
the experiences of practised test drivers
figure considerably in the results.

Trusted by car manufacturers

Nokian Tyres engages in co-operation with a number of car
manufacturers as a winter tyre supplier. Porsche, among others,
has chosen Nokian winter tyres as original equipment tyres.

Worlds fastest
Not only the safest, but the fastest too. Nokian Tyres holds
the Guinness world speed record for driving on ice 321 km/h.

On the frontline of safety and

environmental issues.
Continuous product development and testing at Nokian Tyres result in technical innovations that improve the tyres properties
and increase the safety, comfort and environmental friendliness of driving.

Clean raw materials

Quiet tyres

Transparent operations

Nokian Tyres is the worlds first tyre

manufacturer to introduce a manufacturing method using only purified,
low-aromatic oils. In order to improve grip in icy and wet conditions,
a renewable raw material, canola oil,
is used in the tread mixture.

Nokian Tyres tread patterns feature a

number of noise-reducing innovations:
the placing of tread blocks, protrusions
in longitudinal grooves, and noise
cavities reduce tyre noise.

We monitor all of our operations with

sustainable development in mind. All
of our raw material suppliers also go
through the same stringent screening. Transparency also means fostering a spirit of fairness and enthusiasm
in our work community, and being a
good neighbour.

Winter is not overcome by fantasy

but by ideas tested in practice.
For over 70 years we have developed, tested and patented solutions that enhance safety in driving. Continuous innovation work
is harnessed to improving safety, durability and environmental friendliness. The guiding principle is sustainable safety: the tyre
should retain its features intact under all conditions, even as it ages and wears.

Pump siping

Driving safety indicator (DSI)

Polished grooves

Canola-silica compound

The patented siping improves tyre

grip on wet ice. The pocket-like sipes
on the tyres tread blocks remove
water from the road surface and
provide firmer contact.

The row of numbers on the tread

makes it easy to check the extent of
the remaining tread in millimetres.

Snow, slush and water flow efficiently off the polished grooves under the
tyre.

All tyres

Nokian WR G2, Nokian WR G2 SUV

Using a canola-silica compound in the

tread improves the tyres tear resis
tance and wet grip and reduces rolling resistance without compromising
the tyres winter properties.

Mud stopper

Slush edge

Naturally Nokian Tyres

Low rolling resistance

The mud stopper prevents sand and

mud from getting caught between the
rim and the tyre and extends the service life of the tyre and rim. Available
in 14 and bigger sizes.

The slush edge effectively pushes the

heavy snow and water mass to the
side, out from between the road and
the tyre. The slush edge ensures the
superior slush grip.

Nokian Tyres was the worlds first

tyre manufacturer to go over to
using purified, low aromatic oils
throughout its production.

The more easily a tyre rolls, the less

fuel it consumes and the fewer C02
emissions it generates. A 40% difference in rolling resistance transforms
into an approximately 6% difference
in fuel consumption, which is immediately felt in your purse.

Safety designed for extreme conditions

Grip, not only in snow and ice but also in mild and wet weather, was the focus in the design of this
new friction tyre designed and tested in the changeable weather and driving conditions of the North.
A completely new tyre with numerous innovations to enhance safety in driving was developed. The
pocket-like sipes on the tyres tread blocks remove water from an icy road surface and significantly
improve grip. Low rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption by as much as 0.5 l/100 km*.
Superior grip even on wet ice
Extremely low rolling resistance
Safe on wet roads as well

*A petrol-fuelled car with ECE consumption of

8.5 l/100 km was used in the comparison.
Tyre size 205/55 R 16, which was compared
with another European winter tyre.

Reliable grip for SUVs

The tyre designed to complement SUV driving properties provides a sturdy and steady driving
response. The pocket-like sipes on the tyres tread blocks remove water from an icy road surface
and significantly improve grip. The precise steering response improves handling of a 4-wheel
drive vehicle on a wet road as well. Low rolling resistance reduces fuel costs and C02 emissions.
Steady driving
Excellent grip on snow and bare roads
Extremely low rolling resistance

Exceptional grip on slush

The slush edge and polished tyre grooves designed for the mild winters of Central Europe efficiently remove slush and water. The asymmetrical inside-outside tread design guarantees driving
enjoyment on wet, snowy and dry roads. The new rubber compound reduces rolling resistance
and saves fuel.
Excellent grip on wet roads
Low rolling resistance
Efficiently prevents slush planing

Comfort and safety combined

The slush edge and polished tyre grooves of the SUV tyre suitable for the winters of Central Europe
efficiently remove slush and water from under the tyre. The asymmetrical inside-outside tread
design guarantees driving enjoyment on wet, snowy and dry roads. The new rubber compound
reduces rolling resistance and saves fuel.
Excellent grip on wet roads
Steady driving
Efficiently prevents slush planing

Nokian W+ is a safe friction tyre excellently suited for Central European winter conditons.
The advanced Haka-siping technology improves winter grip. The new silica tread compound
guarantees low rolling resistance. Tread pattern with W-traction concept lowers the noise level.
Excellent winter grip
Low rolling resistance
Comfortable in all conditions

When keeping to schedule is a must

The Nokian WR C tyre family provides excellent winter grip and durability for professional transport. The tyres numerous features are designed
with demanding, unforeseeable conditions and tough use in mind.

Nokian WR C Cargo for goods vehicles is exceptionally durable and its

wear pattern even.
Symmetrical, arrow-shaped tread pattern guarantees good grip
Snow and ice clean off easily

Nokian WR C Vans inside-outside tread is customised for lighter vans.

The tyre performs exceptionally well in slush and snow.
Asymmetrical tread pattern reduces risk of aquaplaning and enhances comfort
Excellent wet grip

The greater the vehicle mass

the more surface grip is required.
Nokian Tyres offer the markets widest and most comprehensive range of winter tyres especially designed for SUVs.
Greater engine power, high centre of gravity and the weight of SUVs mean that winter tyres must have properties that
tyres designed for year-round driving are not up to. Properties that cannot be replaced by a 4-wheel drive or electronic stability control systems when winter shows its teeth.
Nokian Tyres SUV series features
Tyre carcass construction tailored for higher weight classes
Greater load-bearing capacity
Cut resistant sidewall compound
Special tread compound, which ensures good driving
stability
Stabilising zones on the tread
Good running capacity, even in deep snow
