Nitto NT90W Review

Table of Contents

Winter tires promote excellent winter weather performance. Studless winter models rely on their compound and tread design to guarantee the needed traction to conquer severe winter situations. These tires ensure great performance, controllability and surface grip, boosting the driving safety levels.

Here at Priority Tire, we offer a wide range of different studless tires for sale. One such model is the Nitto NT90W, which utilizes its unique compound elements and tread design to boost the winter weather traction. This tire also offers a lengthened tread life and excellent controllability to boost the vehicle’s secure performing ability in such conditions.

Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires utilize their tread design and winter compound to ensure safer and more powerful winter weather traction, to increase the driving safety. These tread elements increase the winter weather traction to improve the model’s performing capability in such weather.

The NT90W upgrades the winter weather traction with its detailed, asymmetric tread pattern and special non-traditional compound. The tread design’s stabilized elements feature a high-density siping pattern which boosts the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the tire’s performance. Even without studs, these tread elements increase the winter weather gripping capability of the tire. On the other hand, the unique tire compound consists of silica and bamboo charcoal which maintain the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. The bamboo charcoal soaks up the thin layer of water when driving on ice-covered roads, which significantly enhances the model’s ice grip. As a result, the tire guarantees a secure winter weather driving experience.

The tread design also has an optimal siping pattern which helps prevent hydroplaning. The wide circumferential grooves manage to channel water and slush from below the footprint. This keeps the tire’s surface contact at all times, resisting hydroplaning. In this manner, the model greatly improves the wet and slush grip on the road surface.

Longer-Lasting Tread Life

Tires which features secured tread elements offer lengthened usability. Their tread design manages to secure the surface contact throughout their performance, which promotes even wear along the tread area, increasing the tread life.

The NT90W increases its usability with its tread design. The stabilized tread elements prevent tread flexing during the drive. By avoiding tread flexing, the tire resists the formation of unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface. This is combined with the optimal tread design to ensure the model’s even pressure distribution. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively resists irregular wear formations across the tread area, significantly lengthening the model’s service life.

Handling and Controllability

Winter tires need to have excellent controllability throughout their performance. Their tread design must accommodate the vehicle with an improved steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, good quality winter tires offer a secure driving experience in all winter weather.

The NT90W improves its controllability with the ideal tread design and compound. The outer zone compound boosts the grip on the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, while the stabilized tread elements increase the tire’s surface contact. This combination enables the tire to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering is faster and more precise, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. This results in the driver’s full control over the vehicle while the tires are in motion.

The tread design and enhanced compound also increase the braking capability. They work together to create friction at the moment of braking between the tire and the road surface. This friction manages to shorten the tire’s braking distance with the increased braking power. The better braking and maneuvering ability guarantee higher driving safety levels.
