Unexpected changes in winter weather are common these days all across Europe. The Nokian WR Snowproof is a new premium winter tyre crafted to offer state-of-the-art safety for varying winter journeys. Whether you drive on urban traffic, speedy autobahns or scenic mountain roads, it provides an exceptional combination of first class grip and predictable and balanced driving experience, meeting the needs of Central European winter drivers.
According to the consumer survey conducted by Nokian Tyres, almost 60% of drivers in Central Europe said specialized winter tyres are the most important car safety equipment in winter. In the same survey, nearly 70% considered good grip and handling as the most valuable winter tyre characteristics, while safety in extreme situations like on snow, and tyre’s grip on slushy roads made it to the top three.*
Alpine Sense Grip – Excellent winter grip, enjoyable handling
The new Nokian WR Snowproof provides excellent winter grip on snow, slush, and wet roads alike – a feature that drivers expect and many times actually need. The firm grip is based on the new Alpine Sense Gripconcept, while the unique Alpine Grip rubber compound ensures that the tyre performs well across a wide temperature range from mild to cold winter conditions. In this eco-friendly premium tyre, each tread block and sipe has a specific role, supporting safe and comfortable driving. Handling is balanced and easy to control even under surprising conditions. The Nokian WR Snowproof comes with a very low rolling resistance, which means less fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
– Cornering on slushy roads and sudden lane changes to avoid wild animals, for example, are challenges for drivers. In line with our product development philosophy, the new Nokian WR Snowproof acts like a seat belt, maximizing safety at the extremes. It remains controlled and reliable at the grip limits. Our Alpine Sense Grip concept allows our winter tyre to adapt to weather variations, providing much-needed grip and control for the most extreme driving situations even before the car’s electronic safety systems are activated, says Marko Rantonen, Product Development Manager for Nokian Tyres.
