This Finnish manufacturer of high-class tyres expands its much-appreciated Nokian Line with Nokian Line SUV model. This tyre is called the master of wet surfaces, but it also has many other useful features. See below.
5 reasons why you should choose Nokian Line SUV:
The first advantage of Nokian Line SUV is its unique grip. How was this achieved? The manufacturer arranges bullet-shaped grooves on the tyre surface. They accelerate water transfer to the transverse and circumferential grooves of the tyre and its quick removal. The introduction of additional oblique grooves helped in efficient water evacuation.
Another feature of the tyre which is important for the driver, is its excellent off-road grip. This feature was achieved by arranging rectangular teeth on the shoulders of the tyre. The specific angle of these elements enables the tyre to perform well sand and gravel tracks.
Better handling. Every driver expects that newer models will have better manoeuvrability. Nokian Line SUV guarantees it. All the openings and grooves on the surface of the tyre, combined with blocks of different sizes, improve its stiffness but also ensure flexibility of the tread. The effect? Perfect manoeuvrability, similar to passenger tyres (in dry and wet conditions) and lower fuel consumption.
The fourth major advantage of Nokian Line SUV is its durability. The material of the tyre is durable and prevents "catching" stones into the tread, protecting it against other off-road risks.
Driving comfort is another feature offered to users of this tyre model. All these advantages are provided by specially shaped spherical cavities in the ribs of the tyre that have the structure of a golf ball. Their task (achieved at 100%) is to reduce noise both inside and outside the car. In addition, they reduce air resistance, cooling the tyre, which contributes to lower fuel consumption.
Nokian Tyres is a Finnish manufacturer of highest class tyres. The company is well known to drivers who opt for winter tyres reliable in the most extreme conditions. For many seasons, the company has been producing equally effective summer tyres. Nokian Tyres bases its production strategy largely on environmental solutions. It is interesting that the company created the world's first ecological tyre, based on a production process that involves environmentally friendly, low-aromatic oils.
