Safety from the expert on extreme conditions. Nokian Tyres has over 75 years of experience in the manufacturing of tyres for extreme conditions. The ever-changing ­driving conditions of the north have taught us that summer tyres must be safe to drive from the budding of spring to the wet leaves of autumn, on dry and wet asphalt and uneven dirt roads alike. The extensive Nokian range offers you the choice of reliable and durable tyres that will suit your car’s properties and your driving habits.

What kind of tyre tracks do you want to leave behind? Nokian Tyres is also a bold leader in environmental friendliness. In 2005, we were the first tyre manufacturer in the world to introduce purified, low-aromatic oils to tyre manufacturing. More recently, we have focused strongly on reducing the rolling resistance of our tyres. When a tyre rolls on a road surface, it creates friction known as rolling resistance. The higher the rolling resistance, the greater the fuel consumption. The right choice of tyres will lower fuel consumption and as a result, reduce carbon dioxide emissions. You can have an impact on your tyre tracks by making sure your tyres are in good condition, that the tyre pressure is correct, and by driving smartly, i.e. defensively, economically and courteously.

A new quality classification system for tyres. EU’s new classification system will make your tyre choice easier and give the manufacturers an incentive to develop eco-friendly tyres. By November 2012, each passenger car tyre sold in the EU must come with a label indicating fuel efficiency, wet grip, and passing noise. The classes are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. The green A class is the highest, or best, and the red G class is the lowest or weakest class. According to the upcoming rolling resistance classification, the best passenger car tyres are in class C, but most tyres are in classes G, F, and E. Moving from one class to another means reducing the fuel consumption of an average passenger car by 2 to 3 per cent.

Testing in extreme conditions. The ABS, traction control and electronic stability control systems in modern cars are top class and bring a sense of safety to driving. In extreme situations, in braking or in evasive manoeuvres on a wet road you want safety to be more than just a feeling. A tyre tested in extreme conditions supplements the car’s safety systems and does what you expect. You can stop and steer as if nothing had happened. Without raising your pulse and unnoticed by passengers. Nokian Tyres’ proving grounds in Ivalo and Nokia are used to simulate extreme driving conditions around the year in all possible conditions. As well as test equipment and measurement devices a major weighting in the results is placed on the experience of our practised test drivers. The danger of aquaplaning In dry summer conditions the driver does not really need to think about the tyres at all. When a thunderstorm takes you by surprise and suddenly fills the ruts in the road with water then aquaplaning is an obvious problem. The best way to avoid it is with new tyres where the tread geometry pumps the water away from under the tyre. When a tyre has less than 4 mm of tread depth its wet grip performance deteriorates substantially. This means that the breaking distance will be longer and the car will skid more easily. Therefore, you must pay attention to your tyres and make sure they are in good condition.

Extreme conditions are not overcome by fantasy but by ideas tested in practice. For over 75 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.

Aquaplaning indicator

Information field

Polished grooves

Mud stopper

When the tyre has only four millimetres of tread depth remaining, the tread’s drop symbol will disappear, reminding the driver of the increased risk of aquaplaning.

The information field can be used to mark down the right tyre pressure level and the tyre’s placing under the car.

Stylishness is functional. Water flows effectively from under the tyre through the polished main and lateral grooves preventing aquaplaning.

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.

Low rolling resistance

The single wire bead structure ensures the durability of the tyre even with hard use.

The canola oil-silica compound in the tread improves the tear resistance of the tyre as well as its wet grip and reduces rolling resistance.

Nokian Tyres was the world’s first manufacturer to go over using purified, low aromatic oils throughout its production.

The more easily the tyre rolls, the less fuel it consumes and the fewer CO2 emissions it generates. There can be large differences in rolling resistance among tyres, as much as 40%. This means approximately a 6% difference in fuel consumption.
