Nokian Tyres Snowproof 2 SUV is a winter tyre designed to meet the specific needs of owners of massive passenger cars. It is ideal for modern SUVs as well as crossovers, offering the right balance of safety, durability, and comfort.
Snow safety - Alpine Sense Grip
The winter tyre was developed at the Finnish plant of the Nokian Tyres brand in line with the predominant Alpine Sense Grip concept - common to all designs in the Snowproof line. Its principle is to create a symbiotic collaboration between the rubber compound, the tread pattern, and the grip sipe system. As a result, you can count on your tyres to perform predictably in all conditions and to drive efficiently and safely.
The world-renowned concept is also complemented by the innovative directional tread zone design - Dual Safety Zone. It assumes the introduction of two areas on the tyre with different functions:
The grip zone - is equipped with special Hydroflow grooves designed to prevent aquaplaning. In addition, their gripping edges dig into the snow coating to protect against skidding in wintry conditions.
Steering zone - has noticeably more rigid blocks, designed to ensure precise manoeuvring and tyre stability at higher speeds.
Alpine Grip 2.0 compound for varying conditions
The designers of the premium Finnish brand understand perfectly that winter in our climate is not only about snow but also about rainy conditions. This is why the Snowproof 2 SUV model has been provided with a new generation of rubber compound - Alpine Grip 2.0.
Its composition, with a high silica content, ensures optimum flexibility regardless of temperature changes, taking care of grip in both frost and above-zero thermometer indications. An additional benefit of the new blend is also optimised rolling resistance, positively influencing the car's fuel burn.
Durability and quiet operation? Now it's possible!
In the design of the Nokian Snowproof 2 SUV winter tyre, care has been taken to combine comfort with durability - much needed for driving massive passenger cars. Therefore, two technologies were used here:
Aramid Sidewall - that is, the aramid fibres used in the sidewall construction. Thanks to the use of this synthetic material, the tyre is more resistant to punctures and remains stable during heavy-duty operation.
Silentdrive - is a technology that incorporates an extra layer of acoustic foam into the warp. Its purpose is to reduce noise levels by trapping the sound waves created when the wheels roll. This makes the journey more comfortable!
Both these technologies make the tyre also well suited to hybrid and electric cars, where quiet operation under heavier loads is crucial!
Nokian Tyres is a premium Finnish brand renowned for its high-performance tyres for winter conditions. Thanks to modern technology, well-chosen compounds, and meticulous production at the Finnish plant, Nokian products are regularly gaining new fans among European drivers.
