In 2010, approximately 50 million passenger car winter tyres (in Swedish: vinterdäck) were sold in Central Europe, which represents an increase of over 16% on the previous year. Targeted at the growing Central European winter tyre market, Nokian Tyres' newest tyre family was designed without compromise. The family comprises tyres with two different tread patterns to optimally respond to the needs of different size categories. In a fashion typical of custom design, the rubber compounds and structures were also designed to suit varying weather conditions and different drivers. The Nokian WR D3, with an arrow-shaped tread pattern, is a durable alternative for medium-sized and small family cars and drivers who value safe, economic driving. The Nokian WR A3, on the other hand, is optimised for larger and more powerful vehicles with a special emphasis placed on the tyre's sensitive driving response even at higher speeds. Cryogenic Canola Compound for extreme ice, snow and wet grip The new tyres' tread rubber compound, the Cryogenic Canola Compound, is a novel combination of natural rubber, silica and canola oil that optimises winter grip, wet grip and wear resistance in varying temperatures. The new kind of full-silica compound contains so-called Cryo silane, which enhances the functionality of the rubber mix. Canola oil provides higher resistance to tear and improves ice and snow grip. Thanks to the high silica content, the environmentally friendly Nokian WR tyres feature a very low rolling resistance, lower fuel consumption and fewer harmful emissions than their traditional competitors. The Nokian WR is green at heart, and it is also a typical example of Nokian Tyres' principle of sustainable development: its properties remain nearly unchanged even upon ageing and wear.

why it really is viewed as an essential addition, it is usually for the function and luxury. Leave a Reply | ArchivesNovember 2011 Categories |
