Take full control of your car with the Nokian Powerproof 2! This is a summer tyre from the Finnish manufacturer that can easily compete with the best UHP tyres on the market. Every component of the tyre has been designed with dynamic driving, high speeds and maximum safety in mind, on both dry and wet surfaces. It’s the perfect choice for drivers who want sporty handling precision without compromising on comfort.
Reliable in all weathers
The Powerproof 2 model has been designed to ensure maximum control in the changeable conditions often encountered in summer. On both hot and wet asphalt, the tyre performs predictably, allowing complete control of the vehicle. This is down to the Twin Force asymmetric tread pattern. The two interlocking traction zones ensure that the car handles confidently, regardless of road conditions. This design enhances the vehicle’s stability during dynamic driving and ensures confident handling even at high motorway speeds.
A robust and safe design
The redesigned construction, combined with the advanced Hydro Grip rubber compound, delivers an excellent balance between grip, durability and ride comfort. The tyre is characterised by enhanced wear resistance and consistent performance throughout its service life.
The reinforced Power Lock Core, combined with the Aramid Strong sidewall, significantly reduces tyre deformation whilst driving, resulting in more precise handling and an extended service life. The high loads generated during dynamic cornering, sudden braking or driving over kerbs do not affect grip and do not cause premature wear of the rubber tread.
Travel in comfort
The pattern of the tread grooves and blocks has been optimised to reduce rolling noise. Special cuts in the shoulder area effectively disperse sound waves, resulting in a quieter and more comfortable ride. This is particularly important for drivers who spend a large part of their day on the road.
